About this book

Frederic Moreau arrives in Paris as a hopeful young man and promptly falls in love with Madame Arnoux, the wife of an art dealer, a passion he nurses for years without ever quite acting on it. Around this thwarted romance Flaubert unfolds the whole restless world of 1840s France, from student cafes to the barricades of the 1848 Revolution, tracing how a generation's political and personal hopes curdle into disappointment. Cool, ironic, and unsparing, the novel refuses the consolations of a tidy plot, which is exactly why later writers came to prize it so highly. Flaubert considered it the moral history of the men of his time.

About the author

Gustave Flaubert - BDeBooks
Gustave Flaubert

Madame Bovary put its author in a Paris courtroom. Serialised in the Revue de Paris in 1856, the novel earned Gustave Flaubert a prosecution for offending public morals and religion; he was acquitted in February 1857 and the book sold hard on the scandal.
