Madame Bovary, published in 1856 by Gustave Flaubert, is a seminal French novel that follows the life of Emma Bovary, a young woman trapped in a stifling marriage to Charles Bovary, a dull and unambitious country doctor. Disenchanted with her provincial life and yearning for passion, luxury, and excitement inspired by romantic novels, Emma embarks on a series of adulterous affairs and reckless spending, leading to her spiraling debt and eventual downfall. Flaubert’s meticulous prose and unflinching portrayal of Emma’s inner turmoil and societal constraints make the novel a cornerstone of literary realism, critiquing the romantic idealism and bourgeois values of 19th-century France. Initially controversial for its perceived immorality, Madame Bovary is now celebrated as a masterpiece for its psychological depth and exploration of human desire and disillusionment.
