THE LEGEND OF JULIAN HOSPITATOR, A Story by Gustav Flaubert

In the shadow of a majestic castle surrounded by lush orchards and serene meadows, a child is born under divine prophecy—a saint, a conqueror, or a cursed soul? Raised in privilege and boundless love, young Julian's life seems destined for glory. Yet, a haunting prophecy foretells a dark and terrible act that will cast him into the abyss of guilt and despair. As he ascends to become a fearsome warrior, his insatiable thirst for bloodshed awakens the specter of fate. Torn between the violence of his past and the salvation he yearns for, Julian's journey leads him to the edge of madness, penance, and redemption. Will he rise as a saint or fall as a sinner? Gustave Flaubert's The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator is a tale of prophecy, passion, and the eternal struggle for grace.
