«Madame Bovary» is Gustave Flaubert's realist novel, published by Gallimard in paperback (513 pages, in French).
Emma Rouault marries the rural doctor Charles Bovary, but provincial life and a passionless marriage plunge her into dissatisfaction. Trapped between romantic dreams and a gray reality, she seeks escape in love affairs and excessive spending. With irony, Flaubert portrays the bourgeois hypocrisy of the 19th century.
Originally published in 1856; this 2001 edition belongs to the Folio classique collection, edited and annotated by Thierry Laget.
Edition intended for those who want to read this classic in its original language or for students of French.
