«Madame Bovary» is Gustave Flaubert's realist novel, published by Austral in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).

This edition, prepared by Juan Bravo Castillo, includes his translation and an introductory study. It belongs to Austral's Clásica collection, Narrativa series.
Aimed at a general audience interested in nineteenth-century French classic fiction.
