Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
1957 Edition
Madame Bovary, first published in book form in 1857, is a novel by French author Gustave Flaubert which follows the story of beautiful Emma Bovary.
Married to a doctor, but bored and frustrated with her provincial life, she seeks escape and fulfillment through a lavish lifestyle and then through romance outside her marriage.
Flaubert's powerfully erotic and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma caused a moral outcry on its initial publication, and its author faced trial on charges of obscenity.
Once acquitted however, his novel became a bestseller, ushering in a new age of realism in literature, and is now recognised as a masterpiece and one of the most influential works in literary history.
Pages in unmarked condition. Cover page has lightly stamped price. Cover has some fading, rubbing and blemishes, creasing at bottom corner, and rough bottom edge.
