Publisher Description: Gustave Flaubert was a French writer considered one of the best novelists of his time during the 19th century, and today critics remember him for being a perfectionist. However, most readers today remember him as the author of Madame Bovary, a story about a doctor's wife who tries to escape her mundane life through a string of adulterous affairs. In its day, Madame Bovary was criticized for being obscene, but that only helped it become a bestseller, and today it is praised as one of the best works of Realism. |
