«Madame Bovary» is the classic novel by Gustave Flaubert published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Emma Bovary, married and discontented, who tries to fill her existence with romantic relationships and a longing for luxury. Her ideals clash with provincial nineteenth-century life and drag her toward debt and disappointment. Flaubert thus examines marriage, the double standard, and the role of women in his era.
Translation by Consuelo Berges. This edition is part of the 13/20 collection from Alianza Editorial. The work was originally published in 1856.
Recommended for the general public interested in universal classic literature and in the realist novel of the nineteenth century.
