This exquisite novel tells the story of one of the most compelling heroines in modern literature. - Emma Bovary"Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgement." - Henry JamesUnhappily married to a devoted, clumsy provincial doctor, Emma revolts against the ordinariness of her life by pursuing voluptuous dreams of ecstasy and love. But her sensuous and sentimental desires lead her only to suffering corruption and downfall. A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence. Who is Madame Bovary? Flaubert's answer to this question was superb: "Madame Bovary, c'est moi."Acclaimed as a masterpiece upon its publication in 1857, the work catapulted Flaubert to the ranks of the world's greatest novelists.
Gustave Flaubert, born in 1821 in Rouen, France, was a groundbreaking writer known for his dedication to realism. His most famous work, Madame Bovary, explored themes of passion, disillusionment, and societal constraints. Flaubert's meticulous approach to writing, particularly his pursuit of "le mot juste," set new standards for literary style.Throughout his life, Flaubert faced personal and financial difficulties, often retreating into his work. He spent much of his time in solitude, refining his craft and corresponded with notable figures like George Sand. His letters revealed his complex nature and deep philosophical thoughts.Flaubert's influence on literature is immense, particularly in the realms of naturalism and modernism. Works like Salammbô and The Sentimental Education showcase his insights into human nature and historical contexts. His legacy as a master of narrative precision and psychological depth continues to shape literature today.
