Synopsis "Madame Bovary: Newly Translated and Annotated (Alma Classics Evergreens)"

Beautiful Emma Rouault yearns for the life of wealth, passion and romance she has encountered in popular sentimental fiction, and when her doctor, the well-meaning but awkward and unremarkable Charles Bovary, begins to pay her attention, she imagines that she may be granted her wish. However, after their marriage, Emma soon becomes frustrated with the boredom of provincial life and finds herself seeking escape and contemplating adultery. As Emma's efforts to make a reality of her fantasies become more dangerous, both she and those around her must face the shattering consequences of her actions. Causing widespread scandal when it was published in 1857, Madame Bovary is Gustave Flaubert's masterpiece and one of the landmark works of nineteenth-century realist fiction.

Gustave Flaubert (Rouen, December 12, 1821-Croisset, May 8, 1880) was a French writer. Considered one of the greatest novelists worldwide, he is mainly known for his novel Madame Bovary, as well as for his scrupulous devotion to his art and style, the best example of which was his endless search for le mot juste (‘the exact word’).
