Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

"Madame Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert is a novel published in 1856 and 1857. Emma Bovary, a doctor's wife trapped in provincial France, yearns for the passion and luxury she's read about in romantic novels. Desperate to escape her mundane existence, she pursues affairs and spends recklessly beyond her means. Her quest for beauty and excitement leads her down a dangerous path of deception and debt, ultimately testing how far one woman will go to escape reality.
