Madame Bovary (1856) es la novela del escritor frances Gustave Flaubert. La historia se centra en la esposa de un medico, Emma Bovary, que tiene asuntos adulteros y vive mas alla de sus medios para escapar de las banalidades y vacios de la vida provincial. Cuando la novela se serializo por primera vez en La Revue de Paris entre el 1 de octubre de 1856 y el 15 de diciembre de 1856, los fiscales atacaron la novela por obscenidad. El juicio resultante en enero de 1857 hizo la historia notoria. Despues de la absolucion de Flaubert el 7 de febrero de 1857, Madame Bovary se convirtio en un...

Madame Bovary scandalized its readers when it was first published in 1857. And the story itself remains as fresh today as when it was first written, a work that remains unsurpassed in its unveiling of character and society. It tells the tragic story of the romantic but empty-headed Emma Rouault. When Emma marries Charles Bovary, she imagines she will pass into the life of luxury and passion that she reads about in sentimental novels and women's magazines. But Charles is an ordinary country doctor, and provincial life is very different from the romantic excitement for which she yearns. In her...

The story came out in a collection of three, aptly titled Three Tales, and all of them got great reviews at the time. Some even say that "A Simple Heart" is Flaubert's best work, so if you want to save yourself some time, skip the novels and read the story. Although we're pretty sure you'll want to read the rest of his stuff once you've gotten a taste. The story is an important example of Realism, because it focuses on the little guy (in this case, the little gal, a servant) rather than a grand hero, and looks at the way pesky stuff like illness is the result of socioeconomic factors.

Madame Bovary es una novela escrita por Gustave Flaubert. Se publico por entregas en La Revue de Paris desde el 1 de octubre de 1856 hasta el 15 de diciembre del mismo ano; en forma de libro, en 1857. Gustave Flaubert (Ruan, Alta Normandia, 12 de diciembre de 1821-Croisset, Baja Normandia, 8 de mayo de 1880) fue un escritor frances. Es considerado uno de los mejores novelistas occidentales y es conocido principalmente por su novela Madame Bovary, y por su escrupulosa devocion a su arte y su estilo, cuyo mejor ejemplo fue su interminable busqueda de le mot juste ('la palabra exacta').

Par un chaud dimanche d'ete, pres du canal Saint-Martin, sur le boulevard Bourdon, a Paris, deux promeneurs, Bouvard et Pecuchet, se rencontrent par hasard sur un banc public et font connaissance. Ils s'apercoivent qu'ils ont eu tous deux l'idee d'ecrire leur nom dans leur chapeau: Alors ils se considererent. . Tombes sous le charme l'un de l'autre, Bouvard et Pecuchet decouvrent que non seulement ils exercent le meme metier de copiste, mais qu'en plus ils ont les memes centres d'interets. S'ils le pouvaient, ils aimeraient vivre a la campagne."
