«Madame Bovary» is the classic novel by Gustave Flaubert, published by Penguin Clásicos in paperback (464 pages, in Spanish).
Emma Rouault, a young woman of peasant origin, marries the doctor Charles Bovary and soon finds herself trapped by the tedium of her provincial life. Her longing for a romantic existence drives her to seek in lovers and adventures the passion she does not find in her marriage, in a spiral that leads her to question her fate.
