Señora de Bovary

Book cover
By: (1821-1880)

Señora de Bovary is a captivating novel that delves into the complexities of human nature and the consequences of following one's desires without restraint. The protagonist, Emma Bovary, is a woman yearning for passion and excitement in her mundane life, leading her down a path of self-destruction.

Gustave Flaubert's writing is exquisite, painting vivid pictures of the French countryside and the society in which Emma lives. The author masterfully captures the essence of each character, from Emma's restless and discontented nature to her husband Charles's obliviousness to her unhappiness.

As Emma becomes entangled in a web of deceit and infidelity, the novel becomes a gripping exploration of the consequences of misguided desires and the tragedy that can result from selfish choices. Señora de Bovary is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers, offering valuable insights into the complexities of human relationships and the pursuit of happiness.

Book Description:
La soñadora Emma, una joven de provincias casada con Charles Bovary, quien la ama pero es incapaz de comprenderla y satisfacerla, buscará la realización de sus sueños en otros amores, pasionales, platónicos..., pero ninguno de ellos logrará calmar su desesperada ansiedad y sus románticas inquietudes. La publicación de Madame Bovary provocó el escándalo de la burguesía francesa, esclava de mil prejuicios, y el proceso judicial que siguió contribuyó a un éxito editorial sin precedentes. Flaubert veía así cómo su obra servía más para satisfacer el morbo que para deleitarse en el caudal narrativo que contenía. Hoy, Madame Bovary es considerada el auténtico pórtico de la modernidad literaria.
