Madame Bovary is one of the very few among the world's great novels which may be properly described as a wholly finished work of art. Flaubert's intensely detailed study of Emma Bovary's struggle against her petty bourgeois environment, her passionate involvements and her tragedy, is sheer perfection in concept, structure and execution. This marvel of the art of fiction is here presented in a new and sparkling translation, complete and unabridged, as fine a rendition as can be found in the English language.

Work Description

Charles Bovary, médecin de campagne, veuf d'une mégère, fait lors d'une tournée la rencontre du père Rouault et de sa fille, Emma. Après leur mariage, Emma reste insatisfaite et rêve d'une nouvelle vie. Son premier amant lui donne le goût du luxe et fait miroiter un avenir à deux avant de l'abandonner. Une fois remise, Emma continue à faire de folles dépenses, qui peu à peu la mènent à la ruine et au déshonneur. (Résumé par Nadine)
