Madame Bovary
COP $ 11.900

Madame Bovary is the debut novel of French writer Gustave Flaubert. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. When the novel was first serialized in La Revue de Paris between 1 October 1856 and 15 December 1856, public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. After Flaubert's acquittal on 7 February 1857, Madame Bovary became a bestseller in April 1857 when it was published as a single volume. A seminal work of literary realism, the novel is now considered Flaubert's masterpiece, and one of the most influential literary works in history. The British critic James Wood writes: "Flaubert established, for good or ill, what most readers think of as modern realist narration, and his influence is almost too familiar to be visible."

Gustave Flaubert

Autor

Gustave Flaubert (Ruán, Francia, 1821 - Croisset, 1880). Escritor francés. Desde muy joven sintió pasión por la literatura, creando una pequeña revista literaria, Colibrí, en la que ya mostraba las dotes del gran escritor que llegaría a ser.

Excepto durante sus viajes, pasó toda su vida en su propiedad de Croisset, entregado a su labor de escritor. Entre 1847 y 1856 mantuvo una relación inestable pero apasionada con la poetisa Louise Colet, aunque su gran amor fue sin duda Elisa Schlésinger, quien le inspiró el personaje de Marie Arnoux de La educación sentimental y que nunca llegó a ser su amante.

Su primera gran novela publicada, y para muchos su obra maestra, es Madame Bovary(1856), a la que seguirían otras grandes obras que han sido el referente de grandes escritores posteriores.
