About the author
Gustave Flaubert
2,257听books3,743听followersGustave Flaubert was a French novelist. He has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country and abroad. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality". He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a prot茅g茅 of Flaubert.

Oh, Emma. Emma, Emma, Emma. Darling, why must you make it so easy ? No, dear, (for once) I don鈥檛 mean for the men. I mean for everyone else in the world who goes into this book just looking for an excuse to make fun of you. I would say that most people don鈥檛 know that much about France, but they do know a few things: that they like their baguettes, their socialism, Sartre, dirrrty dirrty sexy lurrrve and they despise this thing called the bourgeoisie. This book doesn鈥檛 really do a thing to disprove any of this (though I can鈥檛 say baguettes had a prominent place in the plot), and I expect that it had a great deal to do with starting the last two stereotypes. Emma, my dear, Desperate Housewives isn鈥檛 your fault, but you can see why some people might blame you, don鈥檛 you? Your constant, throbbing whining about how your (plentiful) food isn鈥檛 served on crystal platters, how your dresses(of which you have more than a typical country doctor鈥檚 wife) aren鈥檛 made of yards of spider-spun silk, and most of all how your husband dresses wrong, talks wrong, thinks wrong, WEARS THE WRONG HAT (!!), and is so offensively happy with you that he enjoys coming straight home to tell you about his day and relax in front of his fireplace every night instead of going out drinking- well, there鈥檚 a saying about the smallest violin, isn鈥檛 there?
It makes it easy for people to plausibly dismiss this story with things like this:
(If it makes you feel better, dear, you are hardly the only one.. Your other compatriots in 19th century repressed female misery receive similar treatment:
)
It is easy to despise you, Emma. You and your seemingly shallow priorities, the unthinking selfish harm you did to your husband AND your baby girl, the endless excuses you had for your, frankly, off the charts stupid behavior, the fact that you didn鈥檛 even try and communicate how unhappy you were to the guy who loved you who might鈥檝e done something about it (since all the evidence shows that he is willing to COMPLETELY CHANGE HIS LIFE whenever you ask him to) and, finally (what can seem to be) the incredibly coward move you made in finding a way to not face the consequences your childish sense of the world couldn鈥檛 believe would eventually come up. What goes around comes around (Perhaps the alternate cover above should substitute 鈥楯ustin Timberlake鈥� for Sassy Gay Friend.)
That鈥檚 pretty much how I felt about you for about 150 pages after you made your entrance, Emma. While you started your endlessly copied, endlessly bastardized fall from Angel in the Home Grace, and while you tried to make a saint out of yourself for not having sex with a young clerk who couldn鈥檛 have supported you anyway. You were simply the grandmother of Lady Chatterley, an extended protest letter to a dead king I couldn鈥檛 care less about.
But in the end, you won, Emma. I couldn鈥檛 escape you. Seriously, y鈥檃ll, this book would not leave my head alone, for days, and I thought鈥� many different and contradictory things about it. In the end, though, I kept coming back to one thought: the most terrifying thing I can think of is getting caught in Emma Bovary鈥檚 eyes. Did everyone read this weekend about infidelity and marriage? I did. Emma is the literary incarnation of Savage鈥檚 argument. Her eyes are on the cover of this book, and the more I looked at them, the more disturbed I got. Those eyes are the reason that marriage is so frightening, why 鈥榗ommitment issues鈥� exist. This is a novel about how reality can look just the same to you from one day to the next, but to your partner, it can have turned into a hell or a heaven, even if it is the same Tuesday routine as the last one. Emma鈥檚 gaze, how each time she fixes her eyes on some scheme of happiness and how those eyes transform everything they see. She shows how unstable marriage is, how thin the foundations are- resting on nothing but the words- 鈥淚 love you.鈥� Words that just need one more word to dissolve the entire thing. That鈥檚 it, you guys. One word and someone鈥檚 will to speak it is all that stands between a solid marriage and one that is over- no matter how much paperwork you sign, how many kids you have, houses you fill with furniture. You never really know what the person across from you is thinking. How do you really know what motivates someone? Are they with you because they have made a resolution to be? Are they there with you because the stars shine in your eyes? Are they perfect to you because they are about to leave? Marriage, for better or worse, no matter what people say, adds so many complications. It is the commitment that people twist and bend over and around in so many different contortions to try to make it work- because it is a marriage, because it means something. How difficult is it to trust that people are simply what they say they are? Charles is simple and straightforward and rather sweet- and Emma hates him for it. She smiles and smiles and smiles鈥� and then cheats on him, bankrupts him, tries to prostitute herself and kills herself rather than spend another day with him.
This is the most anxiety inducing book I have ever read about marriage. It鈥檚 the 19th century where you have to make a vow for life that you can't get out of, not really, in order to test the idea that you might want to be with someone. If you're wrong, that's it. You've failed. It鈥檚 all-or-nothing. Emma is the incarnation of the expectations of the institution at the time- all-or-nothing. Madame Bovary is destroyed because she tries to put her all into Charles, then Rodolphe and then Leon, and none of them can withstand it. Each of them are good for different things, and only for a little while, and she can't accept it. That is not the ideal. She won't accept less than the ideal. You guys, she's nothing more than exactly what she is told is available to her- granted, she's after the best of what she's told is available: the ideal. But why do we hold that against her? As long as we live in a society where we鈥檙e told to strive after the ideal, to never give up, you will have people who destroy themselves and everyone around them to get it. Savage鈥檚 discussion of what the 鈥渋deal鈥� means in real life is enlightening and pertinent here, I think. He talks about how you have to be willing to change a lot and make a huge effort to keep the deal of monogamy alive. Of course everyone has their limits, and in many marriages, the trade offs of one person鈥檚 limits for the others (I won鈥檛 do this, and you won鈥檛 do that- I won鈥檛 do that, but I will do this) end up making the deal of monogamy work. But you have to be honest about it, you have to be able to say things that you鈥檝e never said out loud before. You have to admit that you won鈥檛 be happy unless you live a life where you have crystal knickknacks on your fireplace, and you get off from pies being thrown in your face. But it鈥檚 not that easy- Emma was on her deathbed, writhing in agony from eating arsenic, and she still couldn鈥檛 tell Charles what she wanted from him.
I can鈥檛 blame Emma, ultimately. It actually made me think, of all things, a bit about Planet of Slums. That book talks about the millions of people who have been born outside the system, in illegal settlements to parents who are illegal themselves, and who are not, in fact, ignored by the system. They never get into the system in the first place- a system that is not built to cope with the mind-blowing poverty that arises from its excrement. The system can鈥檛 acknowledge it and justify itself. At the risk of sounding like I think relatively-well-off white lady problems bear any resemblance to the horror of someone living on the outskirts of Kinshasa in a lean-to, Emma is just trying to get in to a society that can't acknowledge her and go on. She鈥檚 trying with all her might to buy into the fairy tales she鈥檚 been told (just like the revived, and growing belief in magic in some slums), and does whatever she has to do to get her hands on it, even if only for a little while. She saw that fairy tales are real (or so she thinks) at that ball that one time- she SAW it, mommy- and can鈥檛 handle the fact that they exist on this earth and she can鈥檛 be a part of it. And in case anyone finds her head-in-the-sand refusal to face the world overly childish or impossible to relate to: The endless line of irresponsible credit she takes out from the scam artist down the street in order to feed her fantasies about the way she believes her life should look has obvious immediate relevance to America in the pre-2008 financial crisis era. In some ways, the existential crisis Flaubert is trying to outline here: between a solidly practical, profit-and-advancement outlook on life and a sensibility that at least tries to aspire to something higher, even if it is unaffordable or impossible, is the distilled essence of the push and pull of American partisan politics. Monsieur Homais would have done very well on Wall Street. Emma can be read as being more American than French, really.
Emma is a true believer. She doesn鈥檛 just want attention from men, or shiny things. I didn鈥檛 really believe that until the part where she tries to renounce the whole world for fervent religious devotion. Failing making it into her fairy tale, she wants to escape where she is- to somewhere else, anywhere else. By the end, I felt like I was suffocating right along with her. Virginia Woolf said that the 鈥減resent participle is the devil鈥� . Emma adds the present place, the present time, the present person you are with. She really is willing to try anything to escape. On her deathbed, as she pleaded to die, my heart was racing along with hers and the whole finale read like a blockbuster last action scene with explosives and severed limbs flying. I didn鈥檛 enjoy the journey I had with her, but I had made it and lived in tiny spaces with her, spaces that got ever smaller as the book wound down. Every chapter there was less and less light until she was curled up in a ball in solitary confinement with no hope of escape. In the Count of Monte Cristo, we root for the hero to get thrown over the side of a cliff in a body bag because it is his only hope of escape. How could we do less for poor Emma? She deserves her chance to make it to the place she always hoped for- even if priests and businessmen argue whether she got there over her corpse. If she can鈥檛 be buried in 鈥榖lessed鈥� ground, well, at that point the priest鈥檚 God is just another man telling her she has to stay in the woods with the witch and her oven rather than try to find the path home, like she was always taught to do.
Flaubert handles his prose deftly, precisely, and with a deceptively commonplace hand. He doesn鈥檛 try for smart metaphors and delicate similes, but rather has characters say what the mean in an effectively believable way that makes Emma a character who can impact the lives of real women. Parts of this novel are spine-tinglingly sordid, others wrench out your gut, most of it can be drearily, boringly, mind-numbingly quotidian, and every so often, a gem shines through that makes you turn around and look at someone you had thought you were done being interested in. In other words, it鈥檚 like last Wednesday. And the Tuesday before that. And today. And probably next Monday. The morning when you woke up vowing that today it was all going to be different, that afternoon when you just wanted to die, the evening when you forgot it all making dinner and laughing about that thing you saw on the internet.
Flaubert can鈥檛 get it all, or say it all right, but he knows that. In fact, he鈥檚 willing to tell his readers that. But he does it in such a way that you just want to punch him in the face like you do that size 0 model who complains that she鈥檚 too fat:
鈥淲hereas the truth is that fullness of soul can sometimes overflow in utter vapidity of language, for none of us can ever express the exact measure of his needs or his thoughts or his sorrows; and human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.鈥�
Aw, come on, Gustave. Why do you want to make those of us with irrevocably not-size-0 rears, who can鈥檛 get from Q to R, cry? Yet, even your complaining makes me want to hug you.
I guess what I am saying is why are you so awesome, Monsieur Flaubert?

February 26, 2023
welcome to...MADAME BOVUARY!
you know what time it is 鈥� it's a title / month pun, i'm picking up an ill-advised classic, and i'm going to be as attention seeking about it as possible. IT'S ANOTHER PROJECT LONG CLASSIC INSTALLMENT.
except this time i'm doing it at the end of one month into the start of another, the book is not that long, and i'm kind of proud of the terrible pun. because it works with both months. inasmuch as it works with anything.
let's get into it!
PART 1, CHAPTER 1
i primarily bought this book because i'm addicted to penguin clothbound classics, and secondarily bought it because the description is "Emma is beautiful and bored" and that's my life story.
this book is not long, but there are 35 chapters and i'm trying to be More Chill about my reading, so a chapter a day it is!
PART 1, CHAPTER 2
so far, so weird.
PART 1, CHAPTER 3
thus far it's been a lot of exposition-y chapters, which makes sense, but they are so oddly written as to be more confusing than enlightening. whatever! onto the actual story.
PART 1, CHAPTER 4
wedding scene!!!! this sounded fun. good chapter. i approve.
i don't have a lot to say about this book thus far, if you couldn't tell.
PART 1, CHAPTER 5
i do actually love the description in this. so pretty and clear.
PART 1, CHAPTER 6
hello and welcome to our first catch-up day. a three-chapter situation. everyone say thank you, gustave for making these chapters so short.
emma is addicted to novels...once again she is just like me fr.
PART 1, CHAPTER 7
in a twist that will surprise absolutely no one, i like the unlikable pretty protagonist who hates her life and charms everyone.
PART 1, CHAPTER 8
i do feel bad for charles, though.
PART 1, CHAPTER 9
she's sooooo difficult...i stan
PART 2, CHAPTER 1
a fun lil Get To Know The Villagers chapter.
PART 2, CHAPTER 2
suddenly, just as i settled into the comfort of the idea that this would be a Description Book, here we are in Dialogue City. what a change!
PART 2, CHAPTER 3
i really do feel like classics will cover the local politics of a small village for 75 pages, and marriage / birth / death are fully covered in a paragraph or two.
PART 2, CHAPTER 4
happy three chapter day to all who celebrate.
my copy of this is used (part of my How To Afford Collecting Penguin Clothbounds strategy) and there has been nary a mark inside until now. the last line of this chapter is underlined, and i agree: it rules.
PART 2, CHAPTER 5
accidentally got enraptured and forgot to write about individual chapters. this is the REAL problem with three chapter days.
PART 2, CHAPTER 6
yearning!!!
PART 2, CHAPTER 7
emma has to stop reading novels??? good god...a fate worse than death....
PART 2, CHAPTER 8
something fun that this chapter did is make me feel the same existential boredom, but for the sweet relief of bantery dialogue, that our dear emma suffers from every day.
because it was very boring.
CONTROVERSY ARRIVES.
PART 2, CHAPTER 9
a recipe for disaster is unfolding before us.
PART 2, CHAPTER 10
emma, girl...stand up...
PART 2, CHAPTER 11
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
let's spend it reading four chapters of existential ennui. and apparently extensive descriptions of club foot.
PART 2, CHAPTER 12
i do love that being a hater and a trickster is making emma turn hot again. that's my entire skincare routine and life philosophy summed up.
PART 2, CHAPTER 13
you hate to see a man win a situation...women are so much better at deception and deviousness...it looks odd on a man.
PART 2, CHAPTER 14
2-14 on 2/14...pretty cute.
there is no romantic connection or eternal tie quite like the correlation between something bad happening and life-altering illness in classic books. if you had a bad day as a protagonist in 1809...welcome to a life of Consumption.
PART 2, CHAPTER 15
emma has a ROSTER. what an achievement.
PART 3, CHAPTER 1
there is a 5 chapter day in my future...and today is not that day.
i do love the drama of it all. everything emma does seems to be for maximum theatricality and that is a life's purpose i can get behind.
PART 3, CHAPTER 2
hi mtv and welcome to my attempt at a catch-up day.
honestly i would love to be charles bovary. no thoughts, head empty, zero suspicions, getting through life on vibes alone.
PART 3, CHAPTER 3
it's remarkable 鈥� this book has no tension at all. one of the most tense things in the world is happening (repeated marital affairs! will someone discover it? will they be able to love openly? none of these questions come to mind) and it's like. no stakes. crazy. this chapter appears to be attempting a cliffhanger and the crowd went silent.
PART 3, CHAPTER 4
these chapters are so wonderfully short. it's like they were written with me being days behind on a made-up project in mind.
PART 3, CHAPTER 5
"From that moment her existence was but one long tissue of lies, in which she enveloped her love as in veils to hide it. It was a want, a mania, a pleasure carried to such an extent that if she said she had the day before walked on the right side of a road, one might know she had taken the left." this duplicitous little devil...i love her.
PART 3, CHAPTER 6
too much math in the last chapter. debt is boring. give me something more interesting.
jinxed myself. this was even longer and even mathier.
PART 3, CHAPTER 7
super jarring to have a passage of dialogue here from two women just...witnessing emma emma-ing it up. you forget how Improper all this sh*t is until suddenly some lady is like "whip her in the streets."
PART 3, CHAPTER 8
WHAT.
but we have three chapters left!
PART 3, CHAPTER 9
who cares anymore...what's even the point...if i weren't so goddamn close to finishing this i'd take a day off and catch up later...
this is the coolest charles has ever been. low bar, but still.
PART 3, CHAPTER 10
you hate to see an adult mom / overly fond son duo...
PART 3, CHAPTER 11
well, today is the final day and i have literally no idea what i think about this book, so...pretty high stakes for this single chapter here.
OVERALL
generally, i think if you have the free time, the patience, and the refined taste, you can skip this completely, go for anna karenina, and pretend you read both.
but if you're pressed for time or into melodrama, this one is good too.
rating: 3.5
you know what time it is 鈥� it's a title / month pun, i'm picking up an ill-advised classic, and i'm going to be as attention seeking about it as possible. IT'S ANOTHER PROJECT LONG CLASSIC INSTALLMENT.
except this time i'm doing it at the end of one month into the start of another, the book is not that long, and i'm kind of proud of the terrible pun. because it works with both months. inasmuch as it works with anything.
let's get into it!
PART 1, CHAPTER 1
i primarily bought this book because i'm addicted to penguin clothbound classics, and secondarily bought it because the description is "Emma is beautiful and bored" and that's my life story.
this book is not long, but there are 35 chapters and i'm trying to be More Chill about my reading, so a chapter a day it is!
PART 1, CHAPTER 2
so far, so weird.
PART 1, CHAPTER 3
thus far it's been a lot of exposition-y chapters, which makes sense, but they are so oddly written as to be more confusing than enlightening. whatever! onto the actual story.
PART 1, CHAPTER 4
wedding scene!!!! this sounded fun. good chapter. i approve.
i don't have a lot to say about this book thus far, if you couldn't tell.
PART 1, CHAPTER 5
i do actually love the description in this. so pretty and clear.
PART 1, CHAPTER 6
hello and welcome to our first catch-up day. a three-chapter situation. everyone say thank you, gustave for making these chapters so short.
emma is addicted to novels...once again she is just like me fr.
PART 1, CHAPTER 7
in a twist that will surprise absolutely no one, i like the unlikable pretty protagonist who hates her life and charms everyone.
PART 1, CHAPTER 8
i do feel bad for charles, though.
PART 1, CHAPTER 9
she's sooooo difficult...i stan
PART 2, CHAPTER 1
a fun lil Get To Know The Villagers chapter.
PART 2, CHAPTER 2
suddenly, just as i settled into the comfort of the idea that this would be a Description Book, here we are in Dialogue City. what a change!
PART 2, CHAPTER 3
i really do feel like classics will cover the local politics of a small village for 75 pages, and marriage / birth / death are fully covered in a paragraph or two.
PART 2, CHAPTER 4
happy three chapter day to all who celebrate.
my copy of this is used (part of my How To Afford Collecting Penguin Clothbounds strategy) and there has been nary a mark inside until now. the last line of this chapter is underlined, and i agree: it rules.
PART 2, CHAPTER 5
accidentally got enraptured and forgot to write about individual chapters. this is the REAL problem with three chapter days.
PART 2, CHAPTER 6
yearning!!!
PART 2, CHAPTER 7
emma has to stop reading novels??? good god...a fate worse than death....
PART 2, CHAPTER 8
something fun that this chapter did is make me feel the same existential boredom, but for the sweet relief of bantery dialogue, that our dear emma suffers from every day.
because it was very boring.
CONTROVERSY ARRIVES.
PART 2, CHAPTER 9
a recipe for disaster is unfolding before us.
PART 2, CHAPTER 10
emma, girl...stand up...
PART 2, CHAPTER 11
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
let's spend it reading four chapters of existential ennui. and apparently extensive descriptions of club foot.
PART 2, CHAPTER 12
i do love that being a hater and a trickster is making emma turn hot again. that's my entire skincare routine and life philosophy summed up.
PART 2, CHAPTER 13
you hate to see a man win a situation...women are so much better at deception and deviousness...it looks odd on a man.
PART 2, CHAPTER 14
2-14 on 2/14...pretty cute.
there is no romantic connection or eternal tie quite like the correlation between something bad happening and life-altering illness in classic books. if you had a bad day as a protagonist in 1809...welcome to a life of Consumption.
PART 2, CHAPTER 15
emma has a ROSTER. what an achievement.
PART 3, CHAPTER 1
there is a 5 chapter day in my future...and today is not that day.
i do love the drama of it all. everything emma does seems to be for maximum theatricality and that is a life's purpose i can get behind.
PART 3, CHAPTER 2
hi mtv and welcome to my attempt at a catch-up day.
honestly i would love to be charles bovary. no thoughts, head empty, zero suspicions, getting through life on vibes alone.
PART 3, CHAPTER 3

This is one of the books that has had a profound effect on my life. The moral? Be happy with what you have and where you are!!! Mme. Bovary fritters away her entire life with thoughts of, "If only X would happen, THEN I could be truly happy" and yet she never is. She gets everything she thinks she wants only to find out she's still not content.
I read this while I was engaged and at the time, thought, "Well, I'll be happier when I'm married, but once I am, then life will be fabulous". After a few years I found myself playing the same role as Mme. Bovary: "Once I can get pregnant and have kids, then I'll be happy"; "Once I'm not pregnant and sick anymore, THEN I can be happy"; "Once we get out of this apartment and into our house, then I will surely be happy"; "Once the baby starts sleeping through the night, I can definitely be happy"; "Once the baby is out of diapers...etc. etc. ad nauseum...literally!
I want to be content with my circumstances, whatever they may be, and Mme. Bovary is a reminder of what happens to those who are unable to find contentment in the journey, and are continually seeking yet another unsatisfying destination.

Oy, the tedium, the drudgery of trying to read this book! I tried to get into this story. Really, I did. It's a classic, right? And everyone else likes it. I kept making myself continue, hoping I could get into the story and figure out what's supposed to be so good about it.
I won't waste any more of my precious reading time on this. It's about a self-absorbed young wife who longs for anyone else's life except her own. When she's in the city, she dreams of the farm. When she's in the country, she dreams of the city. When she's at a social gathering she imagines that everyone else's life is so much more exciting than her own. Blah, blah, blah.
Too many wordy descriptions of what people were wearing, what the buildings looked like, etc. If you're going to take a long time to tell a story, it had better be a good story. This one is NOT!

Not sure what to make of it. The self-obsessed Emma Bovary was obviously (to me) a side of Flaubert himself. She feels that there is so much more but her limited life fences her in and instead of drawing into herself, seeing what she has to offer, how to make the best of herself, she wants happiness to come to her just as it does in the romance novels she, and Flaubert, read.
I understood that spiritual flailing around, turning this way and that, using looks to make up for depth, using sex to pass for love, and enjoying fooling those she lived with into believing what they saw was what they got. We've all been a bit shallow at times, but to have made a whole career, a whole life of it, no!
But then Emma departs from the author and becomes entirely his creation. She doesn't think forward, thinks her beauty will solve all. Thinks that those who say they love her don't mean they love having an affair, having sex, with her but that they love her deeply and for all time. Not that she is capable of loving that way herself either, so maybe she really didn't know what it meant. Her idea of love is the bodice-ripper, secret affair, always-exciting, happily-ever-after variety, except her affairs die when the men are satiated with this demanding woman. She can't even conceive of real-life nurturing of her child or being supportive, that's for fools like her husband. She always thinks someone will be there to pamper her and indulge her and that there will never be any consequences, that the piper will not call round to be paid for his pretty tune.
Such a sad story, so beautifully written and it deserves a far better review than these few lines but I felt like writing down my first reaction on finishing the book, I don't want the emotions to wear off and have to analyse it critically, it wasn't that sort of experience for me.

Madame Bovary is a gorgeous comedy of manners鈥� The narration is flowery and almost baroque鈥� There is no sympathy for the characters鈥� The snide style of the novel is unique.
Gustave Flaubert begins from afar鈥� From the school years of Charles Bovary 鈥� the future doctor and subsequent husband of Emma Bovary鈥� Being already married one night he visits a patient and there he meets his daughter鈥�
Nonetheless some mysterious spark flies between them鈥� And his destiny chooses to set him free鈥� So there is a new marriage鈥�
Charles is absolutely happy鈥� But to Emma he is just a way station鈥�
They relocate to another town鈥� Her daughter is born鈥� Their life goes smoothly鈥� But she wants more鈥� She wants to run away from everyday routine鈥�
Even the most innocent romantic dreams may lead one far astray.
Gustave Flaubert begins from afar鈥� From the school years of Charles Bovary 鈥� the future doctor and subsequent husband of Emma Bovary鈥� Being already married one night he visits a patient and there he meets his daughter鈥�
Charles was surprised by the whiteness of her fingernails. They were glossy, delicate at the tips, more carefully cleaned than Dieppe ivories, and filed into almond shapes. Yet her hand was not beautiful, not pale enough, perhaps, and a little dry at the knuckles; it was also too long and without soft inflections in its contours. What was beautiful about her was her eyes: although they were brown, they seemed black because of the lashes, and her gaze fell upon you openly, with a bold candor.
Nonetheless some mysterious spark flies between them鈥� And his destiny chooses to set him free鈥� So there is a new marriage鈥�
Emma, however, would have liked to be married at midnight, by torchlight; but P猫re Rouault found the idea incomprehensible. So there was a wedding celebration to which forty-three people came, during which they remained at table for sixteen hours, which started up again the next day and carried over a little into the days that followed.
Charles is absolutely happy鈥� But to Emma he is just a way station鈥�
She loved the sea only for its storms, and greenery only when it grew up here and there among ruins. She needed to derive from things a sort of personal gain; and she rejected as useless everything that did not contribute to the immediate gratification of her heart, 鈥� being by temperament more sentimental than artistic, in search of emotions and not landscapes.
They relocate to another town鈥� Her daughter is born鈥� Their life goes smoothly鈥� But she wants more鈥� She wants to run away from everyday routine鈥�
But she was filled with desires, with rage, with hatred. That dress with its straight folds concealed a heart in turmoil, and those reticent lips said听 nothing about its torment.
Even the most innocent romantic dreams may lead one far astray.

Although it took me a while to finish and I read it in two languages and the same number of formats I can award it no less than 5 stars. When I was a teenager I avoided anything classic and this book was specifically on my black list. I thought that one book about an adulteress who does not end well is enough. I was wrong about running away from classics and also wrong about this being another Anna Karenina. While in this one Emma Bovary takes not one but two lovers, the drama is more around wanting too much from life, more than your condition or abilities and not being able to be content. It is also an excellent cautionary tale of execrable management of money. Oh, and against building an imaginary life from books.
By reading this novel in Romanian and listening to it in English I realized how important a good translation that resonates with the reader can be. I thought the Romanian translation to be rough and peasanty (not a word, I know) while the English one a bit more elevated and flowing. I very much preferred the latter and I am sure that my rating would have been lower had I continued to read it in Romanian. So, in case anyone doubted, TRANSLATORS ARE IMPORTANT and they can make or break the reading experience. Praised are the good ones. I also decided to read as much as possible in the original languages even if I am not an expert in that idiom.

鈥滲efore her marriage, she had believed that what she was experiencing was love; but since the happiness that should have resulted from that love had not come, she thought she must have been mistaken. And Emma tried to find out just what was meant, in life, by the words bliss, passion, and intoxication, which had seemed so beautiful to her in books.鈥�
Mia Wasikowska plays Madame Bovary in the 2015 movie.
Before she is Madame Bovary, Emma is keeping house for her father on a remote farm. I wonder what would have happened to her if Doctor Charles Bovary had not been summoned to set her father鈥檚 broken leg? It is inconceivable to think of her married to a farmer or a tradesman or being swept away by a travelling peddler. She is beautiful enough to be a duchess or a marquise, a pretty bobble for the dance floor, or an elegant adornment for the dinner table, and certainly, the perfect fine drapery for a night at the theatre.
Charles just expects her to be a wife. A woman to manage his household. A woman to uplift him and give him confidence to keep trying to better himself. He is successful in a dull and conservative way, and whenever he tries to raise himself up further, perhaps in an attempt to win the respect of his pretty wife, he is met with utter failure. There is nothing romantic about him. He is steady and completely devoted to her. Whenever he tries to express grand passions, somehow these attempts lack the ability to ignite the flames of desire or evoke the effervescent emotions that her novels tell her are the indications of true love.
Her frustrations, once contained in a heavy ball beneath her heart, begin to unravel like many hissing snakes, and her docile nature becomes viperous. 鈥漇he no longer hid her scorn for anything, or anyone, and she would sometimes express singular opinions, condemning what was generally approved, and commending perverse or immoral things: which made her husband stare at her wide-eyed.鈥�
Other men desire her, even Charles鈥檚 father, who is a retired army officer and a man of the world, who will take any opportunity to pull her to him in a deserted hallway or tug her into a dark alcove for a reasonably platonic cuddle. Men can sense her dissatisfaction behind the cute dimple of her smile and the twinkling stars in her eyes. She is ripe for the plucking. Being a man well experienced with the betraying beguilement of beauty, I would like to think that I would be impervious to her charms. I would only have to clutch the slenderness of my wallet to realize that a woman of her insatiable need for material things would only lead me to disaster and ruin. Of course, there is this: 鈥滱nd she was ravishing to look at, a tear trembling in her eye like water from a rainstorm in the blue chalice of a flower.鈥�
Most men will meet many beautiful women in their lifetimes, but of course, the crux of the matter with a woman like Madame Bovary is knowing that with a little effort she can be yours...at least for a time. Two men are led into catastrophic affairs with Emma. These indiscretions prove even more disastrous for her. 鈥漈here are souls who endure endless torment? They are driven now to dream, not to take action, to experience the purest passions, then the most extreme joys, and so they hurl themselves into every sort of fantasy, every sort of folly.鈥� Recklessness can prove too exhilarating, even intoxicating, but rarely does it lead to long term happiness.
The other problem that Madame Bovary has is a lack of funds. Her husband makes a good living, but he can not even begin to keep up with her need to possess fine things, or to conduct a lifestyle better suited to an aristocratic pocketbook. This is a theme of particular interest to Gustave Flaubert. In fact, he wrote a whole book called Dictionary of Accepted Ideas, condemning the very worst detrimental aspects of having too much money and not enough curiosity. 鈥漌hat he despised, really, was a certain type of bourgeois attitude. It included traits such as intellectual and spiritual superficiality, raw ambition, shallow culture, a love of material things, greed, and above all a mindless parroting of sentiments and beliefs.鈥�
An immoral, grubbing moneylender sinks his talons into Emma鈥檚 soft pale skin like a blood sucking leech. He takes advantage of her naivete concerning the truth worth of hard currency and plays upon her covetous nature for decadent things. She is so close, with an extended line of credit, to living a life of frivolous fun, buoyed by a series of passionate, heart fluttering affairs, that she can almost see it, almost taste it, and almost believe she can obtain the life she has only read about. As Vladimir Nabokov says, 鈥漈he ironic and the pathetic are beautifully intertwined.鈥�
Emma鈥檚 mother-in-law believes the books she has been reading are the reason for the faults in her daughter-in-law鈥檚 character. 鈥漌ouldn鈥檛 one have the right to alert the police if, despite this, the bookseller persisted in his business as purveyor of poison?鈥� I have to admit I laughed out loud. As much as booksellers would like to claim to have diabolical control over readers, we have to defer to the writers. In fact, Flaubert had to defend himself in court for charges of immorality regarding the publication of Madame Bovary. Nothing drives book sales like a court of law trying to deem a book too scandalous for people to be trusted to read it. To me, this book encourages morality and fiscal responsibility. I don鈥檛 see how, given the tragic nature of the book, someone would read this book and want to emulate Madame Bovary.
However, I do understand the feeling that some women have of being trapped in a cage, even if it is a gilded one. The responsibilities of life can make one feel the itch to be reckless, unfettered, and pine for romantic assignations that will awaken youthful desires. Maybe this book is more of a how-to manual on how not to conduct oneself with torrid affairs and fiscal carelessness.
This novel is considered the first example of realistic fiction. This translation is 311 pages long. Flaubert had over 4500 pages of rough drafts that this relatively slender volume emerged from. The lyrical nature of the writing attests to the stringent diligence that Flaubert insisted upon to craft each page of this novel.
I couldn鈥檛 help, of course, but think of Anna Karenina as I read this book. I read and reviewed Tolstoy鈥檚 masterpiece earlier this year. It is easy to condemn both of these women, but who among us has not had destructive desires which we have either indulged in or at least coveted? Both women are fully drawn characters, completely exposed to our critical judging eye, and at the end of the day, deserving of our pity. Either woman would have made a wonderful heroine for a Shakespearean drama. I can hear the gasps from a 17th century audience.

(Book 886 from 1001 Books) - Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert
Madame Bovary is the debut novel of French writer Gustave Flaubert, published in 1856.
The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life.
One day, Charles visits a local farm to set the owner's broken leg and meets his patient's daughter, Emma Rouault.
Emma is a beautiful, daintily dressed young woman who has received a "good education" in a convent.
She has a powerful yearning for luxury and romance inspired by reading popular novels.
Charles is immediately attracted to her, and visits his patient far more often than necessary, until Heloise's jealousy puts a stop to the visits.
When Heloise unexpectedly dies, Charles waits a decent interval before courting Emma in earnest.
Her father gives his consent, and Emma and Charles marry. The novel's focus shifts to Emma.
Charles means well but is plodding and clumsy. After he and Emma attend an elegant ball given by the Marquis d'Andervilliers, Emma finds her married life dull and becomes listless.
Charles decides his wife needs a change of scenery and moves his practice to the larger market town of Yonville (traditionally identified with the town of Ry).
There, Emma gives birth to a daughter, Berthe, but motherhood proves a disappointment to Emma.
She becomes infatuated with an intelligent young man she meets in Yonville, a young law student, L茅on Dupuis, who shares her appreciation for literature and music and returns her esteem.
Concerned with maintaining her self-image as a devoted wife and mother, Emma does not acknowledge her passion for L茅on and conceals her contempt for Charles, drawing comfort from the thought of her virtue.
L茅on despairs of gaining Emma's affection and departs to study in Paris. ...

Madame Bovary is the debut novel of French writer Gustave Flaubert, published in 1856.
The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life.
One day, Charles visits a local farm to set the owner's broken leg and meets his patient's daughter, Emma Rouault.
Emma is a beautiful, daintily dressed young woman who has received a "good education" in a convent.
She has a powerful yearning for luxury and romance inspired by reading popular novels.
Charles is immediately attracted to her, and visits his patient far more often than necessary, until Heloise's jealousy puts a stop to the visits.
When Heloise unexpectedly dies, Charles waits a decent interval before courting Emma in earnest.
Her father gives his consent, and Emma and Charles marry. The novel's focus shifts to Emma.
Charles means well but is plodding and clumsy. After he and Emma attend an elegant ball given by the Marquis d'Andervilliers, Emma finds her married life dull and becomes listless.
Charles decides his wife needs a change of scenery and moves his practice to the larger market town of Yonville (traditionally identified with the town of Ry).
There, Emma gives birth to a daughter, Berthe, but motherhood proves a disappointment to Emma.
She becomes infatuated with an intelligent young man she meets in Yonville, a young law student, L茅on Dupuis, who shares her appreciation for literature and music and returns her esteem.
Concerned with maintaining her self-image as a devoted wife and mother, Emma does not acknowledge her passion for L茅on and conceals her contempt for Charles, drawing comfort from the thought of her virtue.
L茅on despairs of gaining Emma's affection and departs to study in Paris. ...

Wouldn't this novel by Flaubert be out of date today, where adultery no longer exists as such and is never called that? Nevertheless, human passions and impulses have hardly changed; they are born and appear much faster in the era of everything connected. Thus, Emma could nowadays find all kinds of lovers on the web, but would undoubtedly not end up better than in the work of Flaubert. The novel's richness seems to be in the slow but sure, inevitable progression of the characters' becoming. Emma believes in finding love or emerging from boredom in Rodolphe's arms, in vain.
It looks like she can't stand herself anymore, making her go step by step toward her destiny. Flaubert's style maintains this slow rhythm with know-how, descriptions, images, and analyses of feelings. Moreover, he does not forget to bring the context of the time to the surface: the petty bourgeoisie, religion, and abortive discretion. He thus succeeds simultaneously in a romance of love and society perfectly conceived, balanced, and developed with great care.

My 3rd reading of this masterpiece written with irony and finesse. The eternal story of Emma Bovary and her broken dreams is heartbreaking every time.
The narration is actually quite modern in that the perspective changes quite often from a mysterious first person in the beginning (a schoolmate of Charles Bovary?) to the interior monologues of Charles, Emma, L茅on, and Rodolphe. The descriptions of the various locations in the book are always surprising with tiny references to the principle characters. It may surprise you to know that this book, which is essentially a tragedy, also is full of humor and sarcasm. For example, when L茅on and Emma have a rendez-vous in the Cathedral of Rouen, the Swiss guard who tries to give them a tour of the church while L茅on is freaking out and wants to get out of there while Emma pretends to be interested because she is not quite sold on the seduction is pure genius. In a similar, if more romantic vein, the whispered conversation of Rodolphe and Emma in the lodge as the vice-Prefect gives the world's most boring speech (his boss couldn't be bothered to come) was extraordinary. Every word in Flaubert is measured and perfectly weighted to each situation, the original French is absolutely splendid - whether he is describing the pretentious conversation of M. Homais or the various season and their impact on the moods of the characters and tone of the novel. The only criticism that I can bring is that the denouement is a bit long - that being said, there is another fantastic ironic payoff in the last sentence.
This book from 1856 is of course a product of the Romantic period in culture but it surpasses most of its contemporaries by its precise psychology - both of men and women, its irony, its subtle criticism of the "petit bourgeois" and French society, and the meticulous observation of detail. Even 161 years later, it remains a monument of literature and a summit of free expression (Flaubert was pursued in court and beat the censors.)

When I was last at Cambridge Public Library, I saw a gentleman reading this book, and I so desperately wanted to talk to him. Instead, I secretly took a picture of the only other person who reads Penguin Classics in public because yes, I am an introverted, socially awkward coward.
Recently, this article popped up on my phone: .
The article鈥檚 author teaches Madame Bovary at a London university, and his students found it boring, hated it, and hated the main character, Emma. They said, 鈥渢hat woman had everything鈥� and found her completely unsympathetic.
So let鈥檚 talk鈥�..
Madame Bovary was published in 1857, and it was set in France.
Emma Rouault grows up in a convent, and her mother dies. One day, she meets Charles Bovary, a doctor, who ends up marrying her, ripping her away from her entire network. Emma (now Madame Bovary) is miserable. Her sole companion, a greyhound named Djali runs away.
Emma鈥檚 life is devoid of meaning. Her childrearing and domestic duties are outsourced to her staff. Without a vocation or community, Emma鈥檚 days are empty.
As if that isn鈥檛 bad enough, Emma鈥檚 mother-in-law hates her. Instead of kindness and compassion, her mother-in-law lambastes her spending rather than offering any meaningful advice or connection. The poor dear is alone all day, unable to even talk to her maid as socializing with the help wouldn鈥檛 be proper according to the rules of society. She doesn鈥檛 have email or the telephone to call friends. The only person who consistently shows up for her is Monsieur Lheureux, the draper, who wants to sell various goods.
In desperation, Emma attempts to fill the aching loneliness. She embraces religion, but the clergy can鈥檛 be bothered. The townspeople also don鈥檛 seem to be bursting with Christian charity or love. Yes, Emma engages in retail therapy (but let the person who has not ordered from Amazon cast the first stone), and she has various love affairs.
Chuckie鈥 mean Charles, her husband, says how much he loves her. But Chuckie either 1) is blind to her misery or 2) doesn鈥檛 know her at all. He couldn鈥檛 be bothered to have an honest conversation about what they could afford. He gripes about fate鈥�.puh leeze, Chuckles!
Emma certainly doesn鈥檛 鈥渉ave everything.鈥� She lacks a supportive network, a true friend, someone who sees her as she truly is, to be known.
That being said, Flaubert is awful, arrogant, and pompous. He startingly insisted that he could create Emma Bovary because he knew her from the inside out鈥斺€淢adame Bovary is myself鈥攄rawn from life.鈥�
Okay, Captain Cringe.
The book is slow, S-L-O-W, with far too many pointless descriptions. In addition to reeking of ignorant haughtiness, Flaubert decided to experiment with not using quotation marks when a character speaks. This did not enhance the text. And despite Flaubert鈥檚 boasts, he doesn鈥檛 write Emma convincingly.
He doesn鈥檛 mention the persistent dark shadow of loneliness following Emma, that she is lost in the world without a compass, nothing to illuminate her path forward. People don鈥檛 find Emma sympathetic because Flaubert didn鈥檛 write her well. Such a shame!
And now for the twist ending!
The 2010 Lydia Davis translation was recommended by James Mustich in 1,00 Books to Read Before You Die. Did I listen? No.
My version was translated by Geoffrey Wall.
Big deal. Who cares? Can鈥檛 you just drop a text into Google Translate?
Indulge me for a moment, and let鈥檚 look at one of the most famous lines in history from The Great Gatsby: 鈥淚t was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which is not likely I shall ever find again.鈥�
But that wasn鈥檛 the original line Fitzgerald wrote: 鈥淚t was an extraordinary aliveness to life, an alert vitality such as I have never found in any human person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.鈥�
The original isn鈥檛 as strong; it is completely forgettable. In part, it is because the famous line makes use of alliteration, 鈥渞omantic readiness.鈥� This lyrical line stirs the soul. Good translation requires skill beyond Google Translate鈥攖he soul is not a robot.
Hesitating to extend the benefit of the doubt to Flaubert, perhaps his prose is better in French, and his artistic brilliance is victim to a bad translation.
As is, this is a repulsive, boring work written by a bizarre, egotist who doesn鈥檛 live up to his own hype.

"Like a sailor in distress, she would gaze out over the solitude of her life with desperate eyes, seeking some white sail in the mists of the far-off horizon."
It's always difficult to properly appraise a book when one hasn't read it in the language in which it was written. My edition was translated by Geoffrey Wall, who preserved Flaubert's distinctive punctuation, italicisation and paragraphing habits. Though the overuse of exclamation marks is discouraged by modern-day publishers, Flaubert scatters them like seed. I'm all for it, as it added to the vibrancy of his writing.
I read this classic at a leisurely pace, one chapter at a time, in between newfangled reads. I carefully jotted down notes and some well-chosen passages, intending to reproduce them here. Sadly, I unintentionally left my humidity-corrugated notepad by a pool in Thailand! : (
Emma (Madame Bovary), along with Lady Chatterley and Anna Karenina, is in the running for literature's most famous adulteress. And in that respect, she doesn't disappoint.
Defying convention, Flaubert deliberately chose to make his bourgeois femme fatale unlikeable, which I saw as a good thing: it makes her character believable; it makes her seem modern, (Flaubert would cast her as an influencer if he could come back to life) and it shows the extent to which the author was unfettered by tradition.
Emma "Drama Queen" Bovary, whose untamed heart rules her head, is trapped in a boring, frigid marriage and, without a care in the world, looks for love and lust elsewhere. In many ways, she behaves like a sex-hungry man who can鈥檛 keep it in his pants, except she鈥檚 living in patriarchal France in the 1800s!
Of course, when a literary character plays with fire, you just know they're gonna get burnt!
Yes, Emma is shallow and selfish and wants what she can't have but, because she is a flawed human being wholly driven by sentimentality, I somehow sympathised with her.
Translations notwithstanding, I really enjoyed Flaubert's anomalous writing style and luxuriant prose but, for me, this isn't the page-turner that Anna Karenina is.

Before marriage she thought herself in love; but the happiness that should have followed this love not having come, she must, she thought, have been mistaken. And Emma tried to find out what one meant exactly in life by the words felicity, passion, rapture, that had seemed to her so beautiful in books.
You might be surprised to learn that I was mesmerized by Emma鈥檚 life story. I was mesmerized and suffered along with her as she capsized further and further into the ambushes life presented her. Yes, I felt like I was in a trance and could not escape. Oh, Emma, dear Emma, why do people hate you so? Why did you make them feel that way? I am sorry for being so blunt. You, and your seemingly shallow priorities, gave your critics plenty of ammunition. You did the unthinkable. What excuse did you have for such a selfish, impulsive and futile behavior? Did you by any chance hear Virginia Woolf say 'You cannot find peace by avoiding life.'? What did you have to dive head first before she even professed this truth? But you might have overdid it, don鈥檛 you agree with me?
The horror of being a woman with no choices鈥�
As I read on, I kept coming back to one thought: the most terrifying thing I can think of is getting caught in Emma Bovary鈥檚 life. She was not alone in her infidelity, did you know that? Not in her time, not today. What about the reason for marriage? She married to escape, I know. And she hoped for a better life. I don鈥檛 believe she loved Charles, not even in the beginning. Maybe she romanced him, what woman would not do it in her place?
鈥itting on the grass that she dug up with little prods of her sunshade, Emma repeated to herself, "Good heavens! Why did I marry?"
She asked herself if by some other chance combination it would have not been possible to meet another man; and she tried to imagine what would have been these unrealised events, this different life, this unknown husband. All, surely, could not be like this one. He might have been handsome, witty, distinguished, attractive, such as, no doubt, her old companions of the convent had married鈥� But she鈥攈er life was cold as a garret whose dormer window looks on the north, and ennui, the silent spider, was weaving its web in the darkness in every corner of her heart.
And I remembered Jane Austen, who opened the door for woman to search for happiness in their marriage. Why did women marry in those times? Women married only to increase their social standing or for money, but with Austen they start to have a chance at happiness. Flaubert does something similar with Madame Bovary, I believe. He accuses the status quo, the position of women, in a circumvented way, by showing us Emma鈥檚 deep unhappiness and how her actions condemned her and society. Poor Emma. I pitied her for each time she fixed her gaze on some scheme of happiness and how her eyes led her astray.
Then the lusts of the flesh, the longing for money, and the melancholy of passion all blended themselves into one suffering, and instead of turning her thoughts from it, she clave to it the more, urging herself to pain, and seeking everywhere occasion for it. She was irritated by an ill-served dish or by a half-open door; bewailed the velvets she had not, the happiness she had missed, her too exalted dreams, her narrow home.
The only pastime she could enjoy without guilt was reading. From that she built fantasies, it is true. But did she not have the right at least of her own fantasies? It seems not, as we overhear Charles and her mother in law talking:
"Do you know what your wife wants?" replied Madame Bovary senior. "She wants to be forced to occupy herself with some manual work. If she were obliged, like so many others, to earn a living, she wouldn't have these vapours, that come to her from a lot of ideas she stuffs into her head, and from idleness in which she lives."
"Yet she is always busy," said Charles.
"Ah! always busy at what? Reading novels, bad books, works against religion, and in which they mock at priests in speeches taken from Voltaire. But all that leads you far astray, my poor child. Anyone who has no religion always ends up turning badly."
So it was decided to stop Emma reading novels.
As if she had the choice of earning a living, being a female. What hypocrisy! The only choice they see to avoid her turning badly is to forbid her reading her novels. One of the few pleasures she was allowed.
In a time that judged everyone by their wealth; that breathed a suffocating morality deceptively reinforced mainly by women themselves, society would be horrified by women鈥檚 pursuit of anything more than their obligations. On top of all that isn鈥檛 it understandable that Emma would pray for a son when she got pregnant?
She hoped for a son; he would be strong and dark; she would call him George; and this idea of having a male child was like an expected revenge for all her impotence in the past. A man, at least, is free; he may travel over passions and over countries, overcome obstacles, taste of the most far-away pleasures. But a woman is always hampered.
She was so right, men at least were much more free than women. I not only comprehend her reasons, but commiserate with her. So, why look at a baby girl she knew had been born with the wrong gender! It all went against her most heartfelt dreams. Emma might have towards the end had a touch of evil brought by desperation. But who wouldn't?
Ambushes and pitfalls...
Oh, she tried to renounce all her dreams through moments of fervent religious devotion. At mass on Sundays, when she looked up, she saw the gentle face of the Virgin amid the blue smoke of the rising incense. Then she was moved鈥� Intrigue, however, had already tempted her and kept coming her way. Why would she be invited and attend a ball in a house so out of her reality? Was it not a trap? After that, you could not help yourself but wish you had access to that fairy like life. What an ambush, when she was attempting to behave:
Her journey to Vaubyessard had made a hole in her life, like one of those great crevices that a storm will sometimes make in one night in mountains. Still she was resigned. She devoutly put away her beautiful dress, down to the satin shoes whose soles were yellowed with the slippery wax of the dancing floor. Her heart was like these. In its friction against wealth something had come over it that could not be effaced.
Such a fortuitous event served only to stress the undesirability of her life.
After the ennui of this disappointment her heart once more remained empty, and then the same series of days recommenced. So now they would thus follow one another, always the same, immovable, and bringing nothing. Other lives, however flat, had at least the chance of some event. One adventure sometimes brought with it infinite consequences and the scene changed. But nothing happened to her; God had willed it so! The future was a dark corridor, with its door at the end shut fast.
Another bait would present herself in the person of Monsieur Lheureux. He began cajoling Emma quite innocently for the first time when offering her to buy some scarves, 'I wanted to tell you, he went on good-naturedly, 'that it isn鈥檛 the money I should trouble about. Why, I could give you some, if need be.' Thus, another temptation felt into her lap like a dream come through. The endless line of irresponsible credit was not more than an option offered her that she could not have imagine existed if were not for this trickster.
Later we witness how she tries to reform, to be more tolerant and wishing to endure her life as it was, taking responsibility for her daughter and taking interest in the housework. Just then up comes Monsieur Rodolphe Boulanger, who after first meeting Madame Bovary '[s]he is very pretty', he said to himself, 'she is very pretty, this doctor鈥檚 wife.' And he goes on, 'I think he is very stupid. She is tired of him, no doubt. She is gaping after love like a carp after water on a kitchen-table. Yes, but how to get rid of her afterwards?' He decides so easily to seduce her. Oh, yes, she went along with it and of her free will. But it was too much temptation, for someone so thirsty. I imagined that if it was not Rodolphe it would be another. And later on came Leon.
After the affair with Rodolphe begins, Emma marvels at how much she had lacked living before:
"I have a lover! a lover!" delighting at the idea as if a second puberty had come to her. So at last she was to know those joys of love, that fever of happiness of which she had despaired! She was entering upon marvels where all would be passion, ecstasy, delirium. An azure infinity encompassed her, the heights of sentiment sparkled under her thought, and ordinary existence appeared only afar off, down below in the shade, through the interspaces of these heights.
Thus, Flaubert puts all these temptations in her way. It is as if Emma when walking down a meadow starts to stumble on beautiful, ripe apples that lie on the ground and cannot resist but pick some and take a few bites. Could she have resisted them all?
But could Emma have escape her destiny?
Could she have simply accepted life as it was offered to her?, with all its constraints and no reward... I believe all that she lived was utterly inevitable. Could she have run away from her own behavior and avoided her ultimate destiny? Emma was on the same boat as Oedipus found himself in. I felt after reading that there was not really anything that Oedipus could have done to get himself out of his destiny. Could Emma have done it differently? It seemed to me that the more Oedipus attempted to get out of it, the deeper he was immersed in its inevitability. It is simply that there was no way for him to avoid doing it all and facing his fate. Was Emma鈥檚 destiny any less inevitable? I do not believe so. There was no chorus to declare that to us, but Flaubert himself serves the role, even if it is not so explicit and you have to read between the lines:
It seemed to her that the ground of the oscillating square went up the walls and that the floor dipped on end like a tossing boat. She was right at the edge, almost hanging, surrounded by vast space. The blue of the heavens suffused her, the air was whirling in her hollow head; she had but to yield, to let herself be taken; and the humming of the lathe never ceased, like an angry voice calling her.
And so it all ends鈥�
But as in the beginning in the end, you beguiled me Emma. I was with you from the start and you could not escape me even in death. Seriously, I tell all your critics, your tragic story would not leave me alone. It still doesn鈥檛. You had no choice like Oedipus could not escape killing his father or marrying his mother. So, why people do not stop condemning you when they pity him?
You were clever and wanted to exercise your intellect. Imagine the frustration of nothing to do? Perhaps your mother in law was right, you were fated to end badly. What a tragedy of never finding someone that could begin to understand you. Flaubert with his impressive prose evokes her thoughts and feelings throughout the novel, and I had no choice but be enticed by his heroine.
...it seemed to her that Providence pursued her implacably, ...she had never felt so much esteem for herself nor so much contempt for others... She would have liked to strike all men, to spit in their faces, to crush them, and she walked rapidly straight on, pale, quivering, maddened, searching the empty horizon with tear-dimmed eyes, and as it were rejoicing in the hate that was choking her.
Finally, I think I was able to grasp the reasons that make Madame Bovary a classic, a modern tragedy where a soul is doomed because she appreciates and battles against all that comes her way. Despite her limitations in life and as a product of her time, Emma has an unbridled passion and ends pursuing her fantasies. That ends condemning her. Nevertheless, Emma Bovary is brave in her irresponsible choices because it brings her closer to the happiness she wants, even if doing so she is able to attain only a glimpse of her dreams. Even if for that she had to die. And she died so that other women could strive for a more compassionate fate.

[Revised 3/21/23]
Ah, Madame Bovary. Isn't that the one where she has an affair and kills herself by jumping in front of a train? No, that's one by Tolstoy. But I'm thinking of adding a new 欧宝娱乐 shelf: 'Old classics I thought surely I had read years ago, but hadn't.'
There are thousands of reviews so I'll keep this short.
Our two main characters are remarkably unlikable. Emma marries a divorced small-town doctor who's a widower. Isn't there a French expression: "How can a woman love a man who adores her?鈥� Charles acts like a country bumpkin. He adores her and he鈥檚 such a cuckold that he is an enabler. If he found her in bed with another man, Emma would say 鈥淚 was just showing Armande how comfortable our mattress is, and we took our clothes off because it was so hot.鈥� And he would believe her.
The introduction tells us that Flaubert wrote in a letter 鈥淲omen are taught to lie shamelessly. An apprenticeship that lasts all their lives.鈥� So he created Emma to prove his point. Emma鈥檚 picture could appear in an illustrated dictionary under 鈥榮elf-centeredness.鈥� (We鈥檒l put her husband, Charles鈥� picture, in under 鈥榗uckold.鈥�)
The biggest red flag for me about Emma is her lack of interest in, dislike of, and even disgust with her baby daughter. She's forever pushing her away and sending her off to her nurse. Her extravagance creates financial problems that she seems not only unconcerned with but unaware of. That extravagance drives the novel to its tragic end.
If you are thinking of reading it, here are a couple of passages that I liked and that illustrate the style of writing. This one is about an old roadside inn: 鈥溾€ good old house, with worm-eaten balconies that creak in the wind on winter nights, always full of people, noise, and feeding, whose black tables are sticky with coffee and brandy, the thick windows made yellow by the flies, the damp napkins stained with cheap wine, and that always smells of the village, like plowboys dressed in Sunday clothes, has a cafe on the street, and toward the countryside a kitchen-garden.鈥�
Here's a passage when Madame B and a future lover are beginning to feel attracted to each other: 鈥淗ad they nothing else to say to one another? Yet their eyes were full of more serious speech, and while they forced themselves to find trivial phrases, they felt the same languor stealing over them both. It was the whisper of the soul, deep, continuous, dominating that of their voices. Surprised with wonder at this strange sweetness, they did not think of speaking of the sensation or of seeking its cause. Coming joys, like tropical shores, thrown over the immensity before them their inborn softness, an odorous wind, and we are lulled by this intoxication without a thought of the horizon that we do not even know.鈥�
It's a good story and excellent writing, although my paperback edition by Harper Collins has problems. It doesn't name the translator, so it must be an old translation where the copyright expired. I know that Flaubert was a writer known for finding le mot juste. The translator, I think, tried to match that exactness of word usage in English with some fairly obscure English words: diligence (in the sense of a carriage), colza (rapeseed), bistoury (scalpel), faubourg (suburb). The back of the book gives us a glossary that has none of the obscure words I had to look up, but instead defines for us words like ruffian, trivet, penury and gruel! This is what happens when you turn over the glossary task to your graduate student intern and no one else looks over the finished product.
BTW, when is GR going to get around to letting reviewers use italics without having to insert formatting marks?
A great novel and good writing. Indeed a classic. The sex, tame by modern standards, pushed the envelope when published in 1856, and the author was charged with obscenity. It鈥檚 a fascinating blend of romance and realism. Flaubert (1821-1880) was a pioneer in French literary realism.

Madame Bovary, c鈥檈st qui ? Bovary, c鈥檈st d鈥檃bord le nom de Charles, le personnage qui ouvre et cl么t le roman, si bien qu鈥檕n pourrait presque affirmer que c鈥檈st lui le h茅ros, petit m茅decin de campagne, gentil mais sans talent, mari cocu mais pas jaloux. Un Bovary un peu bovin, en somme. Et Madame Bovary, c鈥檈st plusieurs personnages 脿 la fois : Madame Bovary m猫re, la mar芒tre qui ne supporte pas que son fils appartienne 脿 une autre ; H茅lo茂se Dubuc, la premi猫re femme de Charles, dont les pieds au fond du lit sont froids comme des gla莽ons ; c鈥檈st potentiellement aussi la petite Berthe, la fille de Charles, qui finira orpheline dans une filature de coton. Mais c鈥檈st surtout Emma.
Emma est jolie comme un c艙ur et fait tourner la t锚te des hommes autour d鈥檈lle. Elle, cependant, s鈥檈nnuie ferme avec son petit mari m茅decin au fin fond de son trou normand avec toujours les m锚mes insupportables voisins : Homais (Emma invers茅), le pharmacien pr茅tentieux, scientiste et anticl茅rical ; l鈥檃bb茅 Bournisien, 芦 m茅decin des 芒mes 禄, d鈥檜ne sottise 脿 faire pleurer la sainte vierge ; le maire Tuvache (un autre bovin) et bien d鈥檃utres encore. Bref, dans tout ce tas d鈥檌mb茅ciles, il n鈥檡 en a pas un pour rattraper les autres. Alors Emma, normande, lit des romans pour 茅chapper 脿 la mesquinerie ambiante et 脿 la d茅prime 鈥� on la comprend ! Elle lit et , des livres d鈥檃venture et des romans pieux ou 脿 l鈥檈au de rose, , peut-锚tre 鈥� en poussant un peu le bouchon, elle lit les 茅quivalents de au XX猫me si猫cle ou de en ce premier quart du XXI猫me. (Elle lit tellement qu鈥檈lle mourra en vomissant de l鈥檈ncre.)
Alors quand vient 脿 passer quelque 芦 beau gosse 禄 r锚veur (L茅on) ou un 芦 bad boy 禄 ombrageux (Rodolphe), 茅videmment, Emma succombe 脿 la volupt茅 鈥� bon, on peut encore la comprendre... Et quand vient 脿 passer quelque vendeur de fringues de marques et autres bagatelles, elle succombe encore et d茅pense g茅n茅reusement les 茅conomies de son petit mari le m茅decin 鈥� on la comprend, mais, il faut bien l鈥檃vouer, de moins en moins. Bref, toutes ces histoires d鈥檃dult猫re petit-bourgeois et de dettes impossibles 脿 payer semblent assez triviales et par moment franchement d茅goutantes, 芦 cette couleur de moisissure d鈥檈xistence de cloporte 禄, comme aurait dit l鈥檃uteur lui-m锚me.
Si ce n鈥檈st que, en mati猫re d鈥檃uteur, nous sommes entre les mains de Gustave Flaubert, le p猫re du roman moderne, et cela change tout. D鈥檃bord parce que chaque page du livre ou presque est une prouesse stylistique : ironie mordante, descriptions p茅n茅trantes et sonores, jeu 茅tourdissant et souvent hilarant sur les perspectives, entrem锚lement des voix narratives, cut up et montage altern茅. Ainsi, certaines sc猫nes sont d鈥檌noubliables morceaux de bravoure : les comices agricoles (II,8), la lettre de Rodolphe (II,13), la promenade a cheval qui finit en galanterie (II,9), la promenade en fiacre qui finit pareillement (III,1), l鈥檕p茅ration du pied bot qui finit diff茅remment (II,11), l鈥檃gonie d鈥橢mma qui finit encore bien pire (III,8).
En d茅finitive, le monde n鈥檈st d茅cidemment pas 脿 la hauteur de l鈥檃bsolu auquel Emma aspire. Madame Bovary, c鈥檈st l鈥檋茅ro茂ne romantique qui a soif de glamour, de lyrisme, de sublime, et qui retombe toujours dans la boue du prosa茂que et du sordide. C鈥檈st l鈥檃lbatros, l鈥檃nge qui tourne 脿 la pute, la vierge 脿 la triste figure, l鈥檌d茅al qui rechute dans le spleen. En ce sens, oui sans doute, Madame Bovary, c鈥檈st Gustave Flaubert.
Add: Il existe plusieurs adaptations cin茅matographiques du roman de Flaubert. L鈥檜ne des plus remarquables est sans doute celle de Claude Chabrol. Le ton sec du cin茅aste, ma卯tre de l鈥檈llipse et du sous-entendu correspond 脿 la pudeur du r茅cit flaubertien, mais ne parvient toutefois pas 脿 rendre les voltiges stylistiques de l鈥櫭ヽrivain. En revanche, Isabelle Huppert est magnifique, tour 脿 tour lumineuse et tortur茅e.

Since I read by Nella Larsen this week, Emma Bovary started haunting my mind yet again!
We are old friends, Emma and I.
I spent hours and hours over a dictionary at age seventeen in high school, trying to read about her agonies in original French, with only the Isabelle Huppert film as a guidance. In fact, I actually think I owe it to Emma Bovary that I finally made it over the threshold to understand written French. That ultimately led me to university studies in French literature, and a lifelong love for French writers. In a way, I could argue that Emma introduced me to Diderot and Voltaire, I guess.
But she did so much more for me, as well.
She awakened in me a sense that the world holds different options for women and men, and that women's dreams are dangerous, detrimental and slightly sentimental and ridiculous. She made me socially, politically angry for the first time.
I know there are thousands of erudite studies showing all the weaknesses of Emma Bovary, but from the start, I could not - would not - see her that way. I was with her when she danced in the ballroom, and I wished the party would never end. I hated the conventional goodness of Charles, and understood Emma's frustration with him better than his frustration with her. After all, she had ideas, dreams, longings, and he had: routine, reputation and boredom.
I rejoiced that she dared to do what men have always, always allowed themselves to do: enjoy a sexual life of her own choice. She knew she would pay a much higher price than any man ever would for that freedom. I loved the fact that she embraced life in its passion and pain, and I suffered through the horrifying pages of her brutal final agony with the feeling that I would not have wanted her to say no to one single piece of experience in exchange for a better end - living according to her husband's standards would have been death over and over, without end.
I am fully aware that this is not a moral reading or interpretation of the novel, and I don't encourage or follow her choices in real life, but I loved Emma Bovary's daring rebellion without limits when I was young, and it has never actually changed. Whenever I remember my encounter with Emma, the first thought invariably is: "Go girl! Do what you want!"
To close the circle: reading Larsen's made me think of Emma because the character Helga Crane, not fully belonging anywhere, and drifting from one place to the next, never really lives her dreams fully. She always pulls out, runs away, hides from too strong emotions, and in the end, she resigns herself to rural life with a preacher she hates, and multiple pregnancies to bind her to the hopeless boredom and tedium.
Reading about Helga, I found myself thinking again with fondness of Madame Bovary: "Go girl! Do what you want!"

Whenever I remember my encounter with Emma, the first thought invariably is: "Go girl! Do what you want!"
To close the circle: reading Larsen's made me think of Emma because the character Helga Crane, not fully belonging anywhere, and drifting from one place to the next, never really lives her dreams fully. She always pulls out, runs away, hides from too strong emotions, and in the end, she resigns herself to rural life with a preacher she hates, and multiple pregnancies to bind her to the hopeless boredom and tedium.
Reading about Helga, I found myself thinking again with fondness of Madame Bovary: "Go girl! Do what you want!"

鈥濸o葲i rezuma aceast roman ca povestea unui adulter provincial 葯i, totu葯i, s膬 dai dovad膬, prin chiar acest rezumat, c膬 n-ai priceput absolut nimic din Doamna Bovary鈥� (Robert McCrum).

Dar nu-i numai at卯t. Am膬nuntul 葯i mai grozav abia urmeaz膬. Emma se 卯ntoarce acas膬, se a葯az膬 la birou, scrie 卯n grab膬 un bilet, 卯l pune 卯ntr-un plic, adaug膬 鈥瀌ata, ziua 葯i ora鈥�, apoi se 卯ntinde pe pat 葯i 卯ncepe s膬 se observe:

P. S. 脦n Capharnaum / Capernaum (a葯ezare din Galilea), Iisus Christos a vindecat mai mul葲i bolnavi: slujitorul unui centurion roman, un paralitic...
P. P. S. Se pare c膬 arsenicul nu are nici un gust. Doar un u葯or miros de usturoi.

Henry James once said, "Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgment."
That's right. Defies judgment.
I don't know... he looks kind of judgy to me...
Unfortunately, I had to read a translation as my French is nowhere near good enough to read the original. Though I am assured that the prose in the original French are amazing and inspiring.
I can certainly appreciate the characterization and story-telling ability but I personally struggled with the story as I reconciled what Flaubert seemed to be saying about society, women, women who had affairs, men and romance.
Now, I would like to take a moment to quote , since he is the one who convinced me to read this book in the first place.
"Flaubert makes no obvious attempt to judge Emma..."
No, Flaubert doesn't break up his beautiful prose at any point with, "So whilst that is a very nice tree, I would like to intrude and mention that Emma is, like, a total ho! So, now back to the tree..."
I feel he doesn't do this because that would be superfluous. In fact, it seems to me that he doesn't stop judging through this entire book.
[image error]
The judgement is like looking at vacation photos of a ninja family. You can't see it but you know it's there.
Why else would Flaubert so meticulously describe and relish in Emma's fall from grace? Every little detail is mentioned with the same eagerness as a kid dobbing in their little brother. He puts together a file of evidence for her complicity, a smoking gun as you'd say, and leaves it up to us to point the finger.
-She immediately decides after her wedding night that she doesn't love Charles.
-She then sets about creating her own misery by obsessing and romanticizing this unhappiness until it consumes her.
-She goes from a productive and proficient housewife to a morose, unrelenting mess.
-She quickly begins despising Charles and blaming him for everything while he dotes on her and grows increasingly content.
-Her home quickly falls into a state of shabbiness.
-Her daughter goes neglected.
-Her first romance uses her unforgivably but is eventually driven away by her incessant neediness and demands.
-Her second romance, whilst more earnest in his affections, is also driven away by her incessant neediness, deteriorating mental health and demands.
-She drives her husband into bankruptcy.
-Commits suicide to escape it all.
-Her husband falls into despair, neglects their child and quickly dies.
-The child ends up working in a cotton factory.
What would a child do working in a cotton factory, you ask?
Oh, just a little mill-scavenging. Their job was to crawl under the huge, spinning WHEELS OF DEATH to pick up the spare bits of cotton. They were not allowed to sit, rest, or take a break while the mill ran - which was always except for Sunday when they cleaned the huge, spinning WHEELS OF DEATH that caused these children to live
Well, doesn't that just cheer you up!
The entire story arc and every unnecessary tidbit condemns Emma like one more nail in the coffin. Society is condemned, men are condemned, romantic idealism is condemned. Really, this novel thinks everyone is to blame. What is this novel's answer to it? It seems to be saying, "Well, that silly woman had so much and she threw it all away and look at her now, kids. She's dead! And poor, which is really much worse."
The novel seems to step back and tsk at Emma, saying that she had so much. A safe and comfortable home, a good husband who doted on her and she just couldn't be happy with that.
Then it looks at society and says, "Well, you created this and now you've helped destroy her too, you assholes!"
It shakes its head at Charles and says, "You weren't strong enough to keep her in line and then you pined over this worthless woman to the ruinment of your only child."
But I wonder what this book would have been if Emma hadn't been a victim to everyone and every circumstance except for Charles. I wonder what this book would have been like if it displayed a far more realistic approach to a woman having an affair and her reasons. Because, let's face it, this book's depiction of a woman and why she has extra-marital relations is very obtuse. Emma's life and situation is hardly the common for women who seek more out of life. This book makes her quest for more seem silly, unneccessary and ungrateful.
Most of all, I wonder what this novel would have been like if it had dealt with Emma as a real character. One who didn't need to be mostly insane to justify having an affair. One who wasn't both stupid and entitled and didn't lose all her money through a lack of self-control and ability to take five seconds to do the math. One who was capable of growing and learning from life.
Unfortunately all that is lost. Even in the end, Emma learnt nothing. All sound and fury. Signifying nothing.
Much like this novel.
My final criticism about this book...
This was a book about people gettin' it on...
AND THERE WAS NO SEX!

Curse you, Flaubert! Curse you!
September 13, 2018
Cada vez estoy m谩s convencido de que la forma, el estilo, es lo que marca la diferencia en un relato, mientras que lo contado no deja de ser una condici贸n necesaria pero insuficiente y pudiera ser que ni siquiera fuera necesaria. Comprendo perfectamente a Flaubert cuando desea鈥�
Pues bien, ese estilo, esa forma que tanto le cost贸 al autor conseguir en su novela, es lo que no he sabido disfrutar como seguramente debiera. Parafraseando al autor, hay perlas, magn铆ficas, brillantes, pero el collar no acaba de sentarme bien.
Todo lo dem谩s funciona. La trama est谩 perfectamente estructurada, desarrollada y bien contada, a veces espl茅ndidamente bien contada. Los argumentos, interesantes, desde la cr铆tica social (aunque ahora algunos de los personajes nos puedan parecer clich茅s) hasta ese tema, el principal, tan bien resumido en la frase siguiente:
Y Emma, el gran personaje que no puede dejar indiferente a nadie, lleno de matices y ante quien nuestra postura nos calificar谩 sin remedio.
Habr谩 quien alabe su rebeld铆a ante todo aquello que no cumple sus elevados requisitos, quiz谩s quim茅ricos; habr谩 quien critique su ego铆smo; habr谩 quien guste de su rabiosa b煤squeda del goce, de la aventura excitante, ese gusto tan wildesiano por lo superfluo; habr谩 quien le reproche su personalidad caprichosa e irresponsable; habr谩 quien guste de su ingenuidad, su frescura, su inconsciencia; habr谩 quien rechace su cursiler铆a, su romanticismo folletinesco鈥� y habr谩 a quien todo ello le parezca la composici贸n magn铆fica de un ser humano.
Mi edici贸n de la novela (traducci贸n de Consuelo Berg茅s) viene rematada con la correspondencia del autor en la que se alude a la novela, y en la que encontr茅 algunas cosas sorprendentes.
Lo primero es que la personalidad del autor no ayuda mucho a encari帽arse con su obra, cosa de prejuicios a los que soy especialmente sensible. En este sentido, estoy absolutamente de acuerdo con Flaubert cuando dice aquello de que 鈥渓os 铆dolos no hay que tocarlos: se queda el dorado en las manos.鈥�
En segundo lugar, me llam贸 mucho la atenci贸n la posici贸n del autor frente a sus personajes y frente al tema de la novela:
Lo cual, seg煤n su propio argumentario, supon铆a un punto a su favor.
Y, por 煤ltimo, me sorprende el sufrimiento con el que escribi贸 la obra, el herc煤leo esfuerzo que le supon铆a cada p谩gina, cada frase, casi cada palabra. (aunque no descarto el, como dir铆an mis hijos, simple postureo).
Un tipo de comentario que se repite hasta la saciedad en las muchas cartas que escribi贸 durante los cuatro a帽os que tard贸 en concluir la novela, pero, c贸mo el propio narrador llega a decir:
鈥淟o que me parece hermoso, lo que quisiera hacer, es un libro sobre nada, un libro sin atadura externa, que se mantuviese por s铆 mismo por la fuerza interna de su estilo, como la tierra sin ser sostenida se mantiene en el aire, un libro que casi no tuviera tema o al menos en el que el tema fuera casi invisible, si puede ser.鈥�.
Pues bien, ese estilo, esa forma que tanto le cost贸 al autor conseguir en su novela, es lo que no he sabido disfrutar como seguramente debiera. Parafraseando al autor, hay perlas, magn铆ficas, brillantes, pero el collar no acaba de sentarme bien.

鈥淎gostando toda dicha a fuerza de quererla demasiado grande.鈥�.
Y Emma, el gran personaje que no puede dejar indiferente a nadie, lleno de matices y ante quien nuestra postura nos calificar谩 sin remedio.
鈥淎costumbrada a las cosas tranquilas, se inclinaba, por contraste a las accidentadas. Le gustaba s贸lo el mar por las tempestades, y el verde s贸lo salpicado entre ruinas. Necesitaba sacar de las cosas una especie de provecho personal; y rechazaba como cosa in煤til todo lo que no contribu铆a al consumo inmediato de su coraz贸n, pues de temperamento m谩s sentimental que artista, buscaba emociones y no paisajes.鈥�.

鈥淎 veces la vulgaridad de mi tema me da n谩useas, la necesidad todav铆a en perspectiva de escribir bien tantas cosas vulgares me aterra.鈥�
鈥淭engo que hacer grandes esfuerzos para imaginar mis personajes y despu茅s para hacerlos hablar, pues me repugnan profundamente.鈥�.
Lo cual, seg煤n su propio argumentario, supon铆a un punto a su favor.
鈥淐uanto menos se siente una cosa m谩s apto se es para expresarla exactamente鈥�
鈥淣o hay nada peor que poner en arte sentimientos personales (..)Tu coraz贸n, alejado en el horizonte, lo iluminar谩 en el fondo en lugar de deslumbrarte en el primer plano.鈥�.
Y, por 煤ltimo, me sorprende el sufrimiento con el que escribi贸 la obra, el herc煤leo esfuerzo que le supon铆a cada p谩gina, cada frase, casi cada palabra. (aunque no descarto el, como dir铆an mis hijos, simple postureo).
鈥淢e da vueltas la cabeza y me arde la garganta de haber buscado, bregado, cavado, contorneado, tartamudeado y gritado, de cien mil maneras diferentes, una frase que por fin acaba de terminarse. Es buena, respondo de ello, 隆pero no ha salido sin esfuerzo!鈥�.

鈥淟a palabra humana es como una caldera rota en la que tocamos melod铆as para que bailen los osos, cuando quisi茅ramos conmover las estrellas.鈥�.

"Los libros que el mundo llama inmorales, son aquellos que muestran al mundo su propia verg眉enza." Oscar Wilde
Cuando uno termina de leer "Madame Bovary" sabe que puede encarar la rese帽a que escriba desde distintos 谩ngulos. La novela, transgresora y vanguardista en s铆, el proceso constructivo que Gustave Flaubert aplic贸 para ella, lo que la novela gener贸 en Francia en 1857, el tema del adulterio tratado a favor y en contra a煤n hoy, la personalidad de Emma Bovary e incluso el juicio al que Flaubert tuvo que someterse ese mismo a帽o y del que sali贸 airoso.Tratar茅 brevemente de tocar estos puntos.
Cuando una novela rompe todos los esquemas, autom谩ticamente se generan dos bandos: los que la aplauden de pie y los detractores que quieren destruirla junto con su autor. Casos en la literatura hay varios. El "Ulises" de James Joyce, "El guardi谩n entre el centeno" de J. D. Salinger, "Crimen y castigo" de Fi贸dor Dostoievski, "El retrato de Dorian Gray" de Oscar Wilde y hasta "Don Quijote de la Mancha" de Cervantes molestaron e incomodaron a muchos por sus tem谩ticas.
Cuando la sociedad no logra asimilar una obra (de arte) el rechazo es fuerte y hasta lleva d茅cadas digerirlas. Considero que tambi茅n sucede lo mismo en la pintura.
Lo cierto es que en el Segundo Imperio franc茅s, donde Napole贸n II ejerc铆a junto a la Iglesia un f茅rreo control sobre los que se publicaba, esta novela cay贸 mal y fue juzgada.
Era la primera vez que se establec铆a una diferencia muy puntual, la de diferenciar al autor del narrador. Era el estilo literario lo que romp铆a esta regla sustent谩ndose en el estilo indirecto libre y la escritura impersonal.
Gustave Flaubert es llevado a juicio acusado de "ofensa a la moral p煤blica y religiosa" francesas y muy poco tiempo despu茅s Charles Baudelaire ser谩 enjuiciado por los mismo cargos siendo culpable mientras que Flaubert no.
Los motivos de la fiscal铆a para enjuiciar eran seg煤n sus principios m谩s que sobrados: el tema que dominaba a esta novela era el adulterio de Emma Bovary con 隆dos! amantes. Muy arriesgado para su 茅poca, Flaubert se jug贸 todo narrando una historia fuerte, como nunca antes el p煤blico hab铆a le铆do.
Para crear el personaje de Emma Bovary, Flaubert se nutri贸 de dos casos reales sucedidos unos a帽os atr谩s en Francia que puntualmente hablaban de dos mujeres que enga帽aron a sus maridos, uno de ellos fue un pintor conocido en esos a帽os. Ambas terminaron en suidicio.
Estas mujeres se llamaban Delphine Delamare y Louise Pradier. De esta forma, Flaubert amalgam贸 ambas historias y las fusion贸 en la figura de Emma Bovary.
Ven铆a de un traspi茅 literario, "La tentaci贸n de San Antonio", que reescribir铆a despu茅s, ya que el proyecto de esta novela le requiri贸 la utilizaci贸n de todos sus sentidos. El resultado es brillante e inolvidable.
Se ha escrito mucho acerca de Madame Bovary. Los verdaderos expertos y cr铆ticos coincidir谩n en la excelencia de la novela y especialmente en la estructuraci贸n del personaje de Emma Bovary, uno de los mejores logrados de la literatura.
Algunos llegaron a definir a Emma Bovary como "el Quijote con faldas". La comparaci贸n con el Caballero de la triste figura es interesante. Quijotismo y Bovarismo se asemejan. Don Quijote se afana por las conquistas de batalla en cada una de sus aventuras, la normanda busca lograr conquistas amorosas. Ambos buscan evadirse de su realidad cotidiana. Don Alonso Quijano ve gigantes en los molinos de viento, la esposa de Charles Bovary cree visualizar en sus amantes a los h茅roes que ley贸 en sus novelas.
Y es precisamente que Emma es una mujer extremadamente rom谩ntica encarcelada en una novela realista. Nuevamente citamos al Quijote. A uno la lectura de tantas novelas lo hizo tomar la lanza y buscar aventuras asido a su locura. A Emma, la lectura la lleva utilizar la ficci贸n para conquistar a sus amantes en la vida real.
Pero todo es realismo en esta novela. Ese detallad铆simo realismo flaubertiano con sus descripciones interminables del paisaje o del ambiente en el que viven los personajes ponen al lector en su sitio.
Diferenci谩ndose del realismo de Balzac orientado a la burgues铆a parisina que junto con esas novelas de Stendhal se basan en el ascenso social, el de Flaubert recala en la anodina vida de los habitantes de provincia, casualmente all铆 donde Emma parece no encajar.
El tedio, aburrimiento e inconformismo de Emma se percibe ya desde las primeras p谩ginas. Es una eterna so帽adora. Emma y Charles son el d铆a y la noche. R谩pidamente se da cuenta del error al casarse con este medicucho intrascendente y sus autobombardeos psicol贸gicos ir谩n arrincon谩ndola al vicio del enga帽o, a querer arrojarse en los brazos de otros hombres.
En un maravilloso art铆culo escrito por Charles Baudelaire en el diario L'Artiste en 1857, este define con perfecci贸n a Flaubert y a Emma Bovary: "Al autor, para culminar completamente su haza帽a, no le quedaba m谩s que despojarse (en lo posible de su sexo) y hacerse mujer. El resultado ha sido una maravilla, ya que no ha podido evitar infundir sangre viril en las venas de su criatura, y que Madame Bovary, en lo que ella tiene de m谩s en茅rgico, ambicioso y so帽ador, no ha dejado de ser hombre."
Emma est谩 dotada de un car谩cter forjado en hierro, pero recubierto de sensibilidad y pasi贸n amorosa incontrolable. Dista mucho de ser una Eugenie Grandet. Es todo lo contrario. Fogosa, impulsiva y apasionada desde sus primeros momentos en Tostes hasta el descontrol de sus andanzas en Yonville, d贸nde todo transcurre.
Es m谩s, da a luz una hija, Berthe, pero esta aparece muy poco en la novela. Reci茅n sobre el final toma cierto protagonismo, pero no reviste gran relevancia. Aqu铆 el protagonista principal es el coraz贸n de Emma, secundado por su mente febril e imparable.
Los restantes personajes de la novela son muy importantes, en especial el boticario Homais quien deja en protagonismo un poco atr谩s al marido de Emma, Charles Bovary para imponer su personalidad avasallante.
Luego est谩n sus amantes, el joven pasante L茅on y el gentilhombre que la apasiona con sus encantos, Rodolphe Boulanger. Entre estos dos hombres, Emma dividir谩 su coraz贸n y ser谩 objeto de sus m谩s er贸ticos deseos y pasiones.
Emma pasa de ser apasionada a obsesiva. Comienza a tener problemas econ贸micos suscitados por tantas escapadas clandestinas. Sufre desenga帽os, colapsa y por 煤ltimo cae sobre ella el martirio y un peor final.
Ya en la tercera parte de la novela, corre nuevamente hacia a los brazos de L茅on, luego vuelve a Rodolphe. Est谩 arruinada ps铆quica y econ贸micamente. Sufre desvar铆os, descontrol y delirio. Acorralada por las deudas, defraudada por sus amantes y hastiada por su desastrosa vida, cae en picada.
El final es inminente. El mismo autor lo anticipa: "El porvenir era un pasillo negro, en cuyo fondo solo e ve铆a una puerta cerrada."
Flaubert escribe en la 煤ltima p谩gina un final ir贸nico y parad贸jico. Como si cerrara la historia en una horrible mueca del destino, el personaje principal ya no est谩, pero termina destac谩ndose otro m谩s impensado. Las 煤ltimas l铆neas de esta novela me remiten directamente a las de "La metamorfosis", de Franz Kafka.
Si tienen un minuto para leerlas, creo que encontrar谩n esas similitudes.
Comenc茅 esta rese帽a con una frase de Oscar Wilde, porque considero que fue a partir de libros como este la forma en que la literatura supo imponer su predominio en las sociedades. La cr铆tica por la cr铆tica misma se cae ante la falta de argumentos.
Emma "se ocupa de leer novelas, libros inmorales, contrarias a la religi贸n y en las que hace burla de los curas, con citas sacadas de Voltaire" condena la madre de Charles de la misma forma que un pacato fiscal que se llam贸 Ernest Pinard y que en 1857 quiso crucificar a Flaubert.
Lejos est谩n, tanto en la ficci贸n como en la realidad de lograr sus fines.
Estos libros son necesarios para darnos cuenta de lo importantes que somos los seres humanos y de que no hay ley ni cr铆tica que pueda doblegar nuestros esp铆ritus en busca de la verdad y la libertad.
Cuando uno termina de leer "Madame Bovary" sabe que puede encarar la rese帽a que escriba desde distintos 谩ngulos. La novela, transgresora y vanguardista en s铆, el proceso constructivo que Gustave Flaubert aplic贸 para ella, lo que la novela gener贸 en Francia en 1857, el tema del adulterio tratado a favor y en contra a煤n hoy, la personalidad de Emma Bovary e incluso el juicio al que Flaubert tuvo que someterse ese mismo a帽o y del que sali贸 airoso.Tratar茅 brevemente de tocar estos puntos.
Cuando una novela rompe todos los esquemas, autom谩ticamente se generan dos bandos: los que la aplauden de pie y los detractores que quieren destruirla junto con su autor. Casos en la literatura hay varios. El "Ulises" de James Joyce, "El guardi谩n entre el centeno" de J. D. Salinger, "Crimen y castigo" de Fi贸dor Dostoievski, "El retrato de Dorian Gray" de Oscar Wilde y hasta "Don Quijote de la Mancha" de Cervantes molestaron e incomodaron a muchos por sus tem谩ticas.
Cuando la sociedad no logra asimilar una obra (de arte) el rechazo es fuerte y hasta lleva d茅cadas digerirlas. Considero que tambi茅n sucede lo mismo en la pintura.
Lo cierto es que en el Segundo Imperio franc茅s, donde Napole贸n II ejerc铆a junto a la Iglesia un f茅rreo control sobre los que se publicaba, esta novela cay贸 mal y fue juzgada.
Era la primera vez que se establec铆a una diferencia muy puntual, la de diferenciar al autor del narrador. Era el estilo literario lo que romp铆a esta regla sustent谩ndose en el estilo indirecto libre y la escritura impersonal.

Emma es una joven y so帽adora campesina, la cual contrae matrimonio con Charles Bovary, el m茅dico del pueblo. No obstante, su cotidiana vida conyugal, junto con las recurrentes ausencias del marido, har谩n que se desprende de la persona a quien acept贸 en el altar, ya que 茅l no logra brindarle las tan intensas pasiones y las suspironas emociones que ella anhela experimentar cuando lee sus muy preciadas novelas rom谩nticas. Y as铆 es como poco a poco comenzar谩 a dejarse llevar por aquellas fantas铆as, hasta que, eventualmente, se le presente la oportunidad de poder llevarlas a cabo, sin importarle el costo o los da帽os a causar, para que as铆 por fin pueda vivir en carne propia un romance como el que la literatura de su inter茅s demanda.
Ella es la se帽ora Bovary, la protagonista de este t铆tulo que, hace un par de siglos atr谩s, de alg煤n modo, escandaliz贸 a la iglesia como instituci贸n. Pero 驴qu茅 tan espantoso es lo que nos puede deparar esta novela? 驴Hasta qu茅 punto es realidad o exageraci贸n la tan pol茅mica fama de esta obra hereje? Justamente esa es mi principal motivaci贸n e intenci贸n con Madame Bovary: leerla desde esa premisa.
Y bueno, debido a que super茅 el l铆mite de caracteres permitidos en 欧宝娱乐 por m谩s del doble, no puedo subir la rese帽a de forma 铆ntegra; lo cual me restringe a solamente poder incluirles la sinopsis. Qu茅 asco de plataforma, la verdad... Pero 驴qu茅 es lo que se puede hacer en estos casos tan nefastos? Buscar soluciones, y precisamente ide茅 lo siguiente, para que as铆 no tengan que leer esta rese帽a de forma mutilada en los comentarios y mejor lo hagan a trav茅s de un enlace directo a un Drive que les proporcionar茅 con la rese帽a en formato PDF, el cual me esmer茅 en realizar.
En cuanto a la rese帽a como tal, realmente recomiendo su lectura, ya que ostenta una alta profundidad y an谩lisis; adem谩s de ahondar en diferentes temas y aspectos de la obra; as铆 como tambi茅n, reviso en detalle a los personajes, con especial 茅nfasis en la protagonista de esta historia; y, como suele ser costumbre, est谩 la secci贸n en donde cito una selecci贸n de las frases y comentarios que fueron de mi inter茅s y agrado.
As铆 que, hasta ahora, creo que he dado varias razones para que lean esta rese帽a, aunque tampoco quiero pecar de ser autorreferente o insistente, pero creo que este es uno de mis mejores trabajos que he realizado en 欧宝娱乐, por algo super茅 por tanto el l铆mite de caracteres, y gratis.
Tambi茅n es cierto que esta es una rese帽a demasiado extensa, eso es algo de lo que estoy totalmente consciente, pero vale la pena que la lean, por lo que interpreten el hacerlo como si fuese un reto s贸lo para valientes.
De todas maneras, espero que esta sea la 煤nica vez en que tenga que subir algo de esta forma tan limitada (欧宝娱乐, te odio).
Aunque, como advertencia final, por m谩s que est茅 promocionando mi rese帽a, l茅anla una vez que terminen la lectura del libro, ya que encontrar谩n una considerable cantidad de spoilers, debido a que eso es inevitable de hacer si se destripan tantos elementos de la trama y los personajes.
No s茅 qu茅 m谩s podr铆a decir por ac谩, ya que todo lo que hab铆a para mencionar junto con mi inspiraci贸n, se quedaron dentro de la rese帽a, la cual tuvo una realizaci贸n bastante exhaustiva y rigurosa, as铆 que una vez m谩s, l茅anla; la podr谩n encontrar en el siguiente enlace:

Madame Bovary is Gustav Flaubert's most famous novel and realistically tells the story and the sinking of a young woman. The subtle language, the characteristic detailed descriptions let you dive into a completely different world. And even if the story comes from a completely different time, there are so many parallels to ours. There are many possibilities for interpretation and also the psychological aspect is not neglected. Madame Bovary's story, especially when you consider the time the novel was written. He was a scandal then. There was even a trial. Despite its age, the book is timeless and therefore always up-to-date. If you are interested in French culture, you should have a look at this exciting book. Gustave Flaubert is one of the most brilliant authors of his time, whose genius and complexity is also reflected in this book. If, however, one takes a deeper look at the novel, one discovers the many parallels and understands the skill of the author, who tries to portray the image of society at that time. Absolutely worth reading.

Madame Bovary was a real treat. I'm glad that I chose to read it at this point in my life, and not any younger, as I'm not entirely sure that I would have been appreciative of the story, and the richness of the characters. I now know, why Madame Bovary is such a popular novel.
The story centres on Emma, a woman that believes in dreaming, passionate love and adventure, and when she marries Charles Bovary, it is evident to her, that she is not going to get that with him. So, she seeks her needs elsewhere, with two other men. She delves into two affairs, and while her needs are sufficed, she ends up in large amounts of debt, which inevitably, leads to destruction and despair.
Flaubert was a wordsmith, and his beautiful, life-like descriptions of everyday life scenes, that were so in depth, such as the club-foot operation, had me racing through this book. I felt like I was in the room, observing that operation, and I could almost smell the sweat. As for the tragedy itself, I thought it was rather drawn out, and I think in this case, it needed to be. It was shocking, unthinkable and I felt my heart banging in my chest. It takes something extraordinary to be able to do that, and this book has succeeded.
