«Madame Bovary» is Gustave Flaubert's realist novel, published by Altaya in hardback (343 pages, in Spanish).
Emma Bovary, married to the doctor Charles, lives trapped in a provincial existence that fails to fulfil her romantic aspirations. To escape the tedium, she gives herself over to love affairs and a consumption of luxuries that distance her from reality. The novel minutely portrays French bourgeois life in the nineteenth century and the consequences of pursuing an unattainable ideal.
Spanish edition with translation and introduction by Joan Sales, in the Grandes Escritores collection.
For readers of classics and nineteenth-century French literature who appreciate psychological portraiture and the novel of manners.
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.
