Madame Bovary
Book
Primera edición con esta presentación: noviembre de 2021
Madame Bovary escandalizó a sus lectores cuando se publicó por primera vez en 1857. Y la historia en sí permanece tan fresca hoy como cuando se escribió por primera vez, una obra que sigue siendo insuperable en su revelación del carácter y la sociedad. Cuenta la trágica historia de la romántica pero cabeza hueca Emma Rouault.Cuando Emma se casa con Charles Bovary, imagina que pasará a la vida de lujo y pasión que lee en novelas sentimentales y revistas femeninas. Pero Charles es un médico rural común y corriente, y la vida provinciana es muy diferente de la emoción romántica que ella anhela. EnEn su búsqueda para realizar sus sueños, toma un amante, Rodolphe, y comienza una devastadora espiral hacia el engaño y la desesperación. Y Flaubert captura cada paso de esta catástrofe con gran detalle y una comprensión maravillosamente sutil de las emociones humanas. Malcolm Bowie, una autoridad líder en francés literatura, explora el genio de Flaubert en su magistral introducción a este libro imprescindible para todos los amantes de la gran literatura.

And the story itself remains as fresh today as when it was first written, a work that remains unsurpassed in its unveiling of character and society. It tells the tragic story of the romantic but empty-headed Emma Rouault. When Emma marries Charles Bovary, she imagines she will pass into the life of luxury and passion that she reads about in sentimental novels and women's magazines. But Charles is an ordinary country doctor, and provincial life is very different from the romantic excitement for which she yearns. In her quest to realize her dreams she takes a lover, Rodolphe, and begins a devastating spiral into deceit and despair. And Flaubert captures every step of this catastrophe with sharp-eyed detail and a wonderfully subtle understanding of human emotions. Malcolm Bowie, a leading authority on French literature, explores Flaubert's genius in his masterly introduction to this must-have book for all lovers of great literature.
