A NEW TRANSLATION BY ADAM THORPE 'A great novel that is also an inexhaustible pleasure to read' Guardian Emma Bovary is an avid reader of sentimental novels; brought up on a Normandy farm and convent-educated, she longs for romance. At first, Emma pins her hopes on marriage, but life with her well-meaning husband in the provinces leaves her bored and dissatisfied. She seeks escape through extravagant spending sprees and, eventually, adultery. As Emma pursues her impossible reverie she seals her own ruin. Madame Bovary is one of the greatest, most beguiling novels ever written. 'Thorpe's new translation is stunning and heartily recommendedScotsman 'Thorpe's new translation is to die for'Independent ' Thorpe's] hard work has yielded beauty. The rhythms are perfectly judged, unexpected enough to make the reader attend to every word'Robert Chandler, TLS

Madame Bovary, the wife of a somewhat small-minded provincial doctor, possesses a far more passionate nature than her well-behaved husband's disposition allows - where will this lead, if not to adultery? When Flaubert, a wealthy aspiring writer of 36, publishes his debut work in Paris, he is promptly indicted by the prosecution. He allegedly violated public morals, religion, and good manners. Of course, the trial did nothing to diminish the success of his work, especially since he was acquitted. Gr ls Classics - English Edition

French author Gustave Flaubert wrote the book Madame Bovary, which was first published in 1856. In it, the main protagonist overspends in an attempt to escape the tedium and emptiness of provincial life. The events of Madame Bovary occur in rural Northern France, close to the city of Rouen in Normandy. A bashful, eccentrically dressed kid struggles to earn a mediocre medical degree and joins the Public Health Service as an Officier de sant . He weds H lose Dubuc, an unpleasant but ostensibly wealthy widow, and begins to establish a practice in the town of T tes. Emma discovers her married life to be dull and unfulfilling when Charles and she attend an expensive party hosted by the Marquis d'Andervilliers. Charles relocates his practice to Yonville after deciding that his wife needed a change of scenery. L on Dupuis, a smart young man who shares Emma's love of music and literature, captures her heart. She takes arsenic in desperation and suffers a painful demise. Charles, who is devastated, gives in to his sadness, keeps Emma's room as a shrine, and imitates her preferences to keep her memory alive. The local pharmacist Homais, who had competed with Charles' medical practice and been honored for his successes, passes away at the end of the book.
