«Madame Bovary» is the realist novel by Gustave Flaubert, published by Altaya in hardcover (412 pages, in Spanish).
Emma Bovary, married to a provincial doctor, is torn between an empty domestic life and the romantic ideals drawn from literature. Set in nineteenth-century France, the novel portrays her disillusionment, her unsatisfied desires, and her attempts to escape monotony; it is a central work of literary realism.
It corresponds to no. 1 of Altaya's Clásicos de la Literatura Universal collection, published in 1995. The work was originally published in 1856.
A work for readers interested in European classics and in the nineteenth-century realist novel.
