Madame Bovary Mass market paperbound - 2012
by Gustave Flaubert; Mildred Marmur (Translator); Introduction by Robin Morgan
In this iconic French novel of love and betrayal, a small-town doctor's wife pursues both material and physical fulfillment, but never finds it. Includes a new Afterword. Revised reissue.
Summary
Both 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 Bovary’s “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.

Translated by Mildred Marmur

Media reviews
“Possibly the most beautifully written book ever composed [and] the most important novel of the century.”—Frank O’Connor
“Perhaps we identify with Emma because we too feel an emptiness at the center of things—an emptiness we try to fill with books, with fantasies, with sex, with things. Her yearning is nothing more or less than the human condition in the modern world. Her search for ecstasy is ours.”—Erica Jong
