«Madame Bovary» is the classic novel by Gustave Flaubert, published by Hachette in paperback (564 pages, in French).
Emma Bovary, educated on romantic readings, is married to a provincial doctor and clashes with the monotony of rural life and the mediocrity of marriage. To escape this dissatisfaction, she takes refuge in love affairs and in consumption that overwhelms her. Flaubert turns the ordinary into novelistic material and offers a critical look at the French bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century.
Originally published in 1856, this edition belongs to the Le Livre de Poche collection and includes the subtitle «Moeurs de province».
For readers of classics and nineteenth-century French literature.
