Madame Bovary ( Book 3)


Madame Bovary is a novel by Gustave Flaubert that was attacked for obscenity by public prosecutors when it was first serialised in La Revue de Paris between 1 October 1856 and 15 December 1856. It became a bestseller in book form in April 1857, and now stands virtually unchallenged not only as a seminal work of realism but as one of the most influential novels ever written.

The novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary is married to the reliable but uninteresting Charles. She is bored and finds passion in a series of affairs. This exciting life demnads more money then Charles can give her. Soon Emma's dream lead to destruction with some bad things happened.

I enjoyed reading this book and I like it. I think it was an interesting story. I would reccomend this book to other friends.
