Madame Bovary
It is one of the masterpieces of the French writer Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880) published in 1856. A classic novel about a 19th-century bourgeois marriage that shows how a more or less arranged marriage is not always a guarantee for marital happiness. It is a masterpiece of contemporary universal literature, a model of style for its meticulous and precise, brilliant and sober observation of reality. The protagonist Emma is bored to death with her mediocre husband, the rural doctor Charles Bovary, and seeks escape, first by taking refuge in the world of romantic novels, and later by seeking extramarital love affairs. But unlike what happened in the nobility of the Ancien Régime, in the 19th century, society did not consider these affairs acceptable. Especially among women, who eventually earned social scorn for being adulteresses. Technical detailsPages 252 Year 2010 Format 12 x 18 cm Paperback About the author |
