Flaubert's letters
The letters of Gustave Flaubert (French: la correspondance de Flaubert), the 19th-century French novelist, range in date from 1829, when he was 7 or 8 years old, to a day or two before his death in 1880.[1] They are considered one of the finest bodies of letters in French literature, admired even by many who are critical of Flaubert's novels. His main correspondents include family members, business associates and fellow-writers such as Théophile Gautier, the Goncourt brothers, Guy de Maupassant, Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve, George Sand, Ivan Turgenev and Émile Zola. They provide a valuable glimpse of his methods of work and his literary philosophy, as well as documenting his social life, political opinions, and increasing disgust with bourgeois society.

[edit]4481 letters by Flaubert survive, a number which would have been considerably higher but for a series of burnings of his letters to his friends. Many of those addressed to Maxime Du Camp, Guy de Maupassant and Louis Bouilhet were destroyed in this way.[4] From those that survive it appears that his principal correspondents were as follows.[5] His family members:
- Anne Justine Caroline Flaubert, his mother

I don't think that it is necessarily true that native literature reveals a nation's soul, but I do think that when you can discern clear and consistent patterns in that literature, it probably is indicative of some general aspects of the national psyche.
It is surely not a coincidence that so many of the central characters of American Literature are rugged individualists who can be found fleeing the restrictive constraints of organized society--Natty Bumpo, Ishmael and Ahab, Huck Finn and Jim, the cowboys and gunslingers of the Western, Marlowe/Spade/Archer, Cool Hand Luke, RP McMurphy and so on. The authors who created these characters are certainly not all speaking with one voice, but the similarity of their creations does seem to imply an American archetype--male, independent, bound by a moral code instead of by law, etc..
