Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
Flaubert's heroine, Emma, is a bored provincial housewife who abandons her husband to pursue the libertine Rodolphe in a desperate love affair. The book created a sensation when it was published - the author was prosecuted for offending public morals and later aquitted.
Gustave Flaubert (1821-77) works include SALAMBO (1862), SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION (1869), THE TEMPTATION OF ST. ANTHONY (1874), THREE TALES (1877), the posthumously published BOUVARD AND PECUCHET (1881) and the remarkable volumes of his correspondence. Geoffrey Wall teaches at the University of York and works, by night, as a translator, a literary biographer, a travel writer and a journalist.
