«Madame Bovary» is the novel by Gustave Flaubert, translated into Catalan by Lluís Maria Todó Vila, published by Columna in hardback (403 pages, in Catalan).
The novel narrates the life of Emma Bovary, a provincial woman married to a rural doctor who tries to escape boredom through romantic readings and love affairs. Emma's discontent and her longing for another life clash with the hypocrisy of nineteenth-century French society. The novel, published in 1857, caused a scandal.
The work, in its third edition, is part of the Clàssica collection by Columna and was published in Barcelona in 1996.
For readers interested in the nineteenth-century novel and in Catalan versions of universal classics.
