Description
Madame Bovary, a novel that has long been at the centre of controversy, offers a meticulously observed portrayal of provincial life in 19th-century France. Gustave Flaubert's masterpiece is a testament to his innovative approach to fiction, one that continues to influence writers to this day.
The enigmatic protagonist at the heart of the novel, Emma Bovary, is a complex and multifaceted character, both admired and ironised by Flaubert. Her struggles with the conventions of bourgeois society, and her quest for a more fulfilling life, remain a powerful and thought-provoking theme.
With its representation of an unforgettable cast of characters and its formal experiments, Madame Bovary is widely regarded as one of the major landmarks of modern fiction. This new edition, translated by Eleanor Marx-Aveling, presents Flaubert's work in a clear and accessible format, making it an ideal choice for readers looking to explore the foundations of modern literature.
