Madame Bovary

“Madame Bovary,” authored by Gustave Flaubert and first published in 1857, stands as a masterpiece of realist fiction and a critical exploration of societal expectations, passion, and the consequences of living a life fueled by romantic fantasies. The novel centers around Emma Bovary, a young and discontented wife, who, unsatisfied with the banality of provincial life, embarks on a relentless pursuit of passion and luxury. As Emma’s desires spiral out of control, leading to financial ruin and moral decay, Flaubert exposes the hollowness of romantic idealism and critiques the stifling norms of bourgeois society in 19th-century France. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.295, kg Written_By: Gustave, Flaubert Publisher: Fingerprint!, Publishing Book Type: Fiction Categories: Classic, Fiction Best For: Literary, Realism Ages: 16+ Binding: Paperback Edition: Latest, edition, (1, May, 2016) Isbn: 978-8175993686 Language: English Pages: 320 Printing Remarks: Imported Dimension: 20, x, 14, x, 4, cm Total Pages: 320
