Description
Emma Bovary is a novel about a woman trapped in a life that lacks passion and excitement. Her marriage to a doctor is mundane, and her desire for romance and adventure leads her down a path of disappointment and devastating consequences. Flaubert's portrayal of Emma's inner world is both erotically charged and psychologically acute, making for a deeply unsettling read. The novel caused a moral outcry when it was first published in 1857, with many women claiming to be the model for the protagonist. However, Flaubert insisted that the novel was a deeply personal work, written from his own experiences. This edition features a brilliant translation and an introduction by Geoffrey Wall, as well as a preface by novelist Michèle Roberts that explores the novel's themes of femininity and modernity. Part of Penguin's Clothbound Classics series, this edition is bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil-stamped design.
