’Madame Bovary’ is a novel by Gustave Flaubert, first published in 1856. It tells the story of Emma Bovary, a young woman trapped in a provincial life and an unhappy marriage. Dissatisfied with her bourgeois existence and yearning for passion and excitement, Emma embarks on a series of romantic affairs and indulges in material luxuries to escape her mundane reality.
Flaubert’s novel is celebrated for its realistic portrayal of characters and its exploration of themes such as romanticism, disillusionment, and the consequences of living a life driven by fantasy and desire. The novel also caused controversy upon its release due to its frank depiction of adultery and its critique of the bourgeois society of 19th-century France.
’Madame Bovary’ is considered one of the greatest novels in the history of literature and is often studied for its narrative style, character development, and social commentary. Flaubert’s meticulous attention to detail and his use of free indirect discourse, a narrative technique that blends the narrator’s voice with the character’s perspective, have earned the novel acclaim as a masterpiece of realism.
