Madame Bovary

Provincial Manners

Transl. by Margaret Mauldon; With an Introd. by Malcolm Bowie. Notes by Mark Overstall

Beschreibung

Emma Bovary yearns for a life of luxury and passion of the kind she reads about in romantic novels. But life with her country doctor husband in the provinces is unutterably boring, and she embarks on love affairs to realize her fantasies. This new translation by Margaret Mauldon perfectly captures Flaubert's distinctive style.
