Flaubert traces Emma Bovary's restlessness inside a provincial Norman marriage, and the debts and deceptions she accumulates trying to live the life her reading promised her.
The Harper Press paperback holds the complete novel across 432 pages. What made the book a landmark is method as much as subject: Flaubert builds the story from precisely weighted sentences and reports Emma's inner life without stepping in to judge it, a restraint that helped define the realist novel for everyone who came after. Provincial routine, small town gossip and mounting financial pressure do the work that melodrama would do in a lesser book.
Strengths of this title:
• Complete text in a 432-page Harper Press paperback
• A founding work of nineteenth century literary realism
• Close observation of French provincial and small town life
• Widely studied for its narrative technique and free indirect style
Suited to readers of European classics and to students of the novel as a form, published by Harper Press and available at Boipoka.
