Madame Bovary Summary:
| This exquisite novel tells the story of one of the most compelling heroines in modern literature--Emma Bovary. Unhappily married to a devoted, clumsy provincial doctor, Emma revolts against the ordinariness of her life by pursuing voluptuous dreams of ecstasy and love. But her sensuous and sentimental desires lead her only to suffering corruption and downfall. A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence. |

| Emportée par l’ivresse de ses rêves, Emma vit les choses et les êtres à son corps défendant. En épousant Charles Bovary, elle espérait une vie brillante et romantique. Mais elle devient la femme d’un vulgaire officier de santé, incapable et passif. Étouffant dans le confort insupportablement plat de son ménage, Emma s’exile dans le libertinage. Mais ainsi dédoublée, c’est elle-même qu’elle trompe. Récit d’un mal-vivre propre à la fin du XIXe siècle, Madame Bovary est l’incarnation triste de la désillusion. Luttant contre ses propres penchants, Flaubert réussit à opérer une parfaite distanciation, se libérant du lyrisme excessif qui l’asphyxiait. Passant ainsi du romantisme au naturalisme, il sera l’initiateur de ce que Zola considère comme une véritable « révolution littéraire ». |

| We were in class when the head-master came in, followed by a "new fellow," not wearing the school uniform, and a school servant carrying a large desk. Those who had been asleep woke up, and every one rose as if just surprised at his work. The head-master made a sign to us to sit down. Then, turning to the class-master, he said to him in a low voice - "Monsieur Roger, here is a pupil whom I recommend to your care; he'll be in the second. If his work and conduct are satisfactory, he will go into one of the upper classes, as becomes his age." The "new fellow," standing in the corner behind the door so that he could hardly be seen, was a country lad of about fifteen, and taller than any of us. His hair was cut square on his forehead like a village chorister's; he looked reliable, but very ill at ease. Although he was not broad-shouldered, his short school jacket of green cloth with black buttons must have been tight about the arm-holes, and showed at the opening of the cuffs red wrists accustomed to being bare. His legs, in blue stockings, looked out from beneath yellow trousers, drawn tight by braces, He wore stout, ill-cleaned, hob-nailed boots. |
