About the Author
Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was a French novelist who was best known for exploring realism in his work. Hailing from an upper-class family, Flaubert was exposed to literature at an early age. He received a formal education at Lycée Pierre-Corneille, before venturing to Paris to study law. A serious illness forced him to change his career path, reigniting his passion for writing. He completed his first novella, November, in 1842, launching a decade-spanning career. His most notable work, Madame Bovary was published in 1856 and is considered a literary masterpiece.
Reviews
Review - French Emma Bovary est peut-etre la seule heroine dont la renommee eclipse celle de son auteur. Lasse d'une vie routiniere et d'un mariage mediocre qui lui font preferer les reveries voluptueuses, cette femme de province fascine autant qu'elle choque. Et c'est a un veritable tapage judiciaire que s'expose Flaubert lorsqu'apres cinq annees de labeur, il livre son roman a la societe dont il depeint les traits. Mais plus que l'outrage aux bonnes moeurs, se retient de cette oeuvre un monument du style, concu par Flaubert comme le ferment d'une realite nouvelle. La presente edition, introduite et annotee par Edouard Maynial, participe a la redecouverte d'un roman qui aura eu l'audace de bouleverser les codes du genre.
