This exquisite novel tells the story of one of the most compelling heroines in modern literature, Emma Bovary. Unhappily married to a devoted, clumsy, provincial doctor, Emma revolts against the ordinariness of her life by pursuing voluptuous dreams of wealth, 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 novel catapulted Flaubert to the ranks of the world's greatest writers.
