Madame Bovary
Emma Bovary is a passionate reader of sentimental novels, raised on a Normandy farm and educated in a convent. She yearns for the excitement of romance. Initially, she looks to marriage for fulfillment, but life with her well-meaning husband in the provinces leaves her feeling bored and dissatisfied. In her quest for escape, she indulges in extravagant spending and eventually turns to infidelity. As Emma chases her unattainable dreams, she ultimately seals her own fate in despair. Exquisite and moving, with moments of sharp satire and profound psychological insight, *Madame Bovary* remains one of the greatest and most enchanting novels ever written.
This remarkable new translation by acclaimed novelist Adam Thorpe skillfully captures the rhythms, tone, and lyrical quality of *Madame Bovary*, allowing readers to delve deeper into its complexities. It is poised to become the definitive English version of this timeless classic.
