Description: Madame Bovary is one of the very few among the world's great novels which may be properly described as a wholly finished work of art. Flaubert's intensely detailed study of Emma Bovary's struggle against her petty bourgeois environment, her passionate involvements and her tragedy, is sheer perfection in concept, structure and execution. This marvel of the art of fiction is here presented in a new and sparkling translation, complete and unabridged, as fine a rendition as can be found in the English language.
