Résumé

Written by the great French author Gustave Flaubert, ‘Hérodias’ is the third and final tale from the short story collection, ‘Three Tales’ (1877) and is a memorable retelling of the biblical story of Saint John the Baptist. After her divorce from John's half-brother, Herodias marries Herod, but John claims their marriage is against Mosaic Law. During a lavish birthday celebration for Herod, Herodias plans to have John beheaded. Now his fate rests in the hands of King Herod’s daughter, Salome.This biblical tale will delight fans of Ancient Rome and historical fiction.Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was a French novelist, regarded as one of the greatest Western writers and a leading exponent of literary realism in France. A hugely influential figure, he is best known for his debut novel ‘Madame Bovary’ (1857), which caused a nationwide scandal upon publication with its realistic portrayal of bourgeois life.The historical novel ‘Salammbô’ and the painting-inspired ‘The Temptation of Saint Anthony’ are some of his other well-known works. Many of Flaubert’s stories have since been adapted for TV and film including ‘Madame Bovary’ (2000) starring Hugh Bonneville.

I began this journey a few years ago as a medium. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that would lead me to be able to hear G-D, Jesus and some Arch Angels. I started getting messages that I needed to go out on the beach at sunrise, and to bring my tablet, more commonly known as a notebook. I would walk up and down the beach thinking I would see something like the burning bush, but that didnt happen. It couldnt be as simple as that. I needed to sit down with my tablet and start writing what I heard. I soon realized I was going to have to work hard for this. Almost every morning I would sit down either at the beach or later in my house, to listen to the great spirits tell me their wisdom. It would take a full year to put together this book. I asked G-D why me? Im not a bible scholar or anyone of great importance. Im just an average housewife and mother. He told me the meek shall inherent the earth.Dori Green Morris
