About this audiobook
This exquisite novel tells the story of one of the most compelling heroines in modern literature - Emma Bovary.
A bored provincial housewife, abandons her husband to pursue the libertine Rodolphe in a desperate love affair. A succès de scandale in its day, Madame Bovary remains a powerful and scintillating novel.
A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence.
The novel is considered Flaubert's masterpiece, as well as a seminal work of realism and one of the most influential novels ever written.
An Author's Republic audio production.
Gustave Flaubert
Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was born in Rouen, France. Published in 1857, Madame Bovary gained popularity after a failed attempt to ban it for obscenity. Salammbô (1862), Sentimental Education (1869), and the political play The Candidate (1874) met with criticism and misconceptions. Only after the publication of Three Tales in 1877 was Flaubert's genius publicly acknowledged.
