Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
1964 Edition, 1979 printing
Signet Classics, New American Library
Paperback, 405 pages
Madame Bovary is set in the Normandy region of mid-19th-century France, in provincial towns like Tostes and Yonville-l'Abbaye, and the city of Rouen. This realistic, albeit seemingly mundane, provincial setting contrasts sharply with the protagonist Emma Bovary's romantic fantasies, highlighting her boredom, disillusionment, and eventual downfall as she yearns for a more exciting and passionate life.
Pages unmarked. Large diagonal crease on upper part of front cover. Small closed tear at top edge of front cover. Minor wear to covers and spine at corners and edges.
