Description: One of the great novels of 19th century literature, Flaubert's masterpiece was originally published in a Paris journal. It portrays the frustrations and love affairs of Emma, a romantic young woman married to a dull provincial doctor. The adulteress's constant yearning for passion and romance brings the story to a dramatic climax. Written in a superbly controlled style by the mover of the realist school in France, Madame Bovary was banned for its crude sexual content and immorality.
