About this ebook
- Illustrated Edition: Includes 20 beautifully curated illustrations that bring Emma’s world to life
- Bonus Materials: Concise summary, character list, and author biography for quick reference and deeper insight
Flaubert’s prose is famously exact—every sentence pared to its le mot juste—which makes Emma’s journey feel both intimate and inexorable. This is not just a story of an unhappy marriage; it’s a razor-sharp portrait of desire vs. reality, the quiet tyranny of bourgeois respectability, and the way debt and appearances can steer a life toward ruin. Cool, lucid, and devastatingly beautiful, Madame Bovary remains one of literature’s most modern-feeling masterpieces.
