Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert

Detalii:

In this iconic French novel of love and betrayal, a small-town doctors wife pursues both material and physical fulfillment, but never finds it. Includes a new Afterword. Revised reissue. nBoth embodiment and victim of the self-satisfied nineteenth-century French bourgeoisie, Emma Bovary lives in pursuit of something more, like the world depicted in the romance novels that have come to define her. Emma is oblivious to the realities of life, and her romantic delusions and search for transcendence through sex, money, and social position serve only to drive the increasingly troubled woman into an irreversible moral, emotional, and spiritual decline. That the author depicted his heroine in neutral terms, without condemnation, resulted in obscenity charges from the French courts, which likened the lascivious Madame Bovarys lack of restraint to a woman who throws off all garments. Exactly. Madame Bovary remains one of the most daring and liberating novels ever written. nIncludes The Trial of Madame Bovary n nTranslated by Mildred Marmur n nWith an Introduction by Robin Morgan and a New Afterword by Frederick Brownn
