Aside from journeys to the Near East, Greece, Italy, and North Africa and a stormy liaison with the poet Louise Colet, his life was dedicated to the practice of his art. The success of \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e (1857) was marred by government prosecution for \"immorality.\" \u003ci\u003eSalammbô\u003c\/i\u003e (1862) and \u003ci\u003eThe Sentimental Education\u003c\/i\u003e (1869) received a cool public reception. Not until the publication of \u003ci\u003eThree Tales \u003c\/i\u003e(1877) was his genius popularly acknowledged. Among fellow writers, however, his reputation was supreme.
