Description
From the Publisher: Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert's dramatic novel about the loves and liaisons of a country doctor's wife, caused a sensation when it was first published in 1857. Although prosecuted by French censors, the novel is recognized today as a groundbreaking work of literary realism. It has become on of the most popular novels of all time, and its heroine, Emma Bovary, one of the best known in all literature. In addition to Madame Bovary, this volume collects Flaubert's four other novels: Salammbo, The Temptation of Saint Anthony, A Sentimental Education, and Bouvard and Pecuchet. Evocative in their descriptions and vivid in their delineation of the inner lives of their characters, these meticulously crafted stories testify to Flaubert's genius as a literary innovator.
