Yksinkertainen sydän
Translated by Jalmari Hahl
"Yksinkertainen sydän" by Gustave Flaubert is a short story published in 1877 as part of Three Tales. It follows Félicité, a devoted servant girl whose lover abandons her for a wealthier woman. She dedicates her life to serving a widow and caring for others, giving freely despite receiving little in return. As everyone she loves dies—from her nephew to her mistress's daughter to her cherished pet parrot—Félicité remains steadfast in her capacity to love, leading to a transcendent moment on her deathbed.
