Book Description:
Madame Bovary is Gustave Flaubert’s seminal novel of passion, disillusionment, and the quiet tragedy of unfulfilled dreams. It follows Emma Bovary, a provincial doctor’s wife who longs for a life of romance, luxury, and adventure beyond the dull routines of small-town France.
As Emma chases her ideals through love affairs and lavish spending, she spirals into debt, despair, and disillusionment. Caught between her fantasies and the constraints of reality, her story becomes a powerful critique of bourgeois society and the illusions it sells.
With its groundbreaking realism and psychological insight, Madame Bovary remains a masterpiece of modern literature — intimate, devastating, and profoundly human.
