Description: Madame Bovary is one of the very few among the world's great novels that 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, her fatal misfortune, is nearly perfect in concept, structure and execution. This marvel of the art of fiction is presented complete and unabridged in a fine translation by Lowell Bair. In addition to Leo Bersani's perceptive new Introduction, there is a complete critical appendix included in this volume, making it the indispensable Madame Bovary.
