Flaubert's legendary style, his intense care over the selection of words and the shaping of sentences, his unmatched ability to convey a mental world through the careful selection of telling details, shine on every page of this marvelous work. Now the award-winning translator Margaret Mauldon has produced a modern translation of this classic novel, one that perfectly captures the tone that makes Flaubert's style so distinct and admired. Madame Bovary scandalized its readers when it was first published in 1857. And the story itself remains as fresh today as when it was first written, a work that remains unsurpassed in its unveiling of character and society. It tells the tragic story of the romantic but empty-headed Emma Rouault. When Emma marries Charles Bovary, she imagines she will pass into the life of luxury and passion that she reads about in sentimental novels and women's magazines. But Charles is an ordinary country doctor, and provincial life is very different from the romantic excitement for which she yearns. In her quest to realize her dreams she takes a lover, Rodolphe, and begins a devastating spiral into deceit and despair. And Flaubert captures every step of this catastrophe with sharp-eyed detail and a wonderfully subtle understanding of human emotions. Malcolm Bowie, a leading authority on French literature, explores Flaubert's genius in his masterly introduction to this must-have book for all lovers of great literature.

This book is as revelatory, controversial, pertinent and absolutely phenomenal now as it was when first published. If you've read it before, this is faithful to and interpretive of Flaubert's original nove!; if you haven't read it (or haven't read it in a while), PICK UP THIS PARTICULAR ENGLISH TRANSLATION! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unsatisfied life, be grateful for what you have *by A***R on February 3, 2025* Sad story of unrequited love, a person never satisfied or content with what they have. Desiring more and more, once obtained realizes she will never find it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not my favorite story, but this is a good edition. *by R***M on March 29, 2014* I read this for a Phil/Lit 400 level college course. This is a good edition for such a purpose. I had previously heard Madame Bovary described as a story about a married woman who had a problem with infidelity and a habit of collecting lovers. That is a complete misrepresentation of the plot. Overall, this is a story about a woman who becomes increasingly disconnected with reality. This is not what you would call a romance- by any stretch of the imagination. It is a story of a tragically unstable woman. The characters are well rounded. Flaubert is very readable and has a style that isn't too complicated. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13415112-madame-bovary-provincial-manners-oxford-worlds-classics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13415112-madame-bovary-provincial-manners-oxford-worlds-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
