Abstract: Due sole cose sono importanti per la giovane e bellissima Emma Rouault: la ricchezza e il prestigio, che da sempre insegue senza sosta. Non importa se le sue origini sono umili e il marito, Charles Bovary, è un mediocre medico di provincia, ordinario nei modi e nell'aspetto. Per sfuggire a una vita che detesta, Emma si rifugia nei suoi preziosi libri, e sogna a occhi aperti amori romantici e totalizzanti come quelli delle sue eroine preferite. Ben presto, tuttavia, quasi senza accorgersene, si ritrova prigioniera in un mondo di bugie e inganni, soffocata dai suoi stessi desideri. Prima gli occasionali incontri d'amore con Rodolphe, il ricco proprietario terriero che pur non amandola la seduce con la promessa dei soldi, poi gli appuntamenti appassionati con il giovane Léon in un albergo di paese... Tutto questo sarà sufficiente per guarire la sua anima insoddisfatta? Un grande romanzo d'amore. Una protagonista fragile e disperata, impossibile da dimenticare. Prefazione di Andrea Bajani. "Emma non vuole una vita ordinaria. Ama, e l'amore l'ammala." - Andrea Bajani

Abstract: This collector's edition is cleanly formatted for easy reading, 12 point Garamond, 1.15 spacing. "Emma is bored and wants excitement and makes a complete mess of her life. In the process she destroys the life of her very provincial husband who also happens to be a good man. The story is tragic and at times frustrating but well worth reading." After marrying Charles Bovary, an ordinary  country doctor, Emma Rouault hopes to have the adventurous life of passion and intrigue that she reads about in books. However, she is disappointed with her husband and her simple life. It is anything but the romantic excitement she longs for. In her desire to fulfill her dreams she travels down a winding path of adultery and deception.When Madame Bovary  appeared in La Revue de Paris in October 1856, public prosecutors attacked it for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. After Flaubert's acquittal in February 1857, Madame Bovary was published in book form and became an instant bestseller. The novel is considered Flaubert's master-piece, and one of the most influential literary works in history. The British critic James Wood writes: "Flaubert('s)…influence is almost too familiar to be visible."

Abstract: La protagpnista Emma è diventata il simbolo del disagio e dell'insofferenza borghese: vittima di una sorta di "vampirismo" che le procura appetiti e desideri sempre crescenti e un'infelicità sempre più vorticosa, è destinata a soccombere alla sua stessa smaniosa irrequietezza.
