«Madame Bovary» is the classic novel by Gustave Flaubert, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Emma Bovary, married to a mediocre doctor and stifled by provincial monotony, yearns for the passion she finds in romantic novels. Her flight into luxury, lovers and fantasy only deepens her disillusionment. The work is a sharp psychological portrait and a critique of nineteenth-century bourgeois morality.
For readers of classics and nineteenth-century French literature, especially those who appreciate psychological portraits and social criticism.
Gustave Flaubert was a French novelist. He has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country and abroad. He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.
