As for the eyes: on page 51... «Something to Declare»
Oksident10 января 2017As for the eyes: on page 51 Flaubert has “sea-green” eyes, which change, without comment from Lottman, to “blue eyes” on page 78. The first colour was supplied by Maxime Du Camp in his memoirs (the English translator of these added yet another tint, wildly translating ses yeux enormes, couleur vert de mer into “large eyes grey as the sea”). The second colour comes from Flaubert's passport. Which do you prefer?
