Madame Bovary
Madame Bovary was written by Gustave Flaubert which was later attacked for
obscenity by public prosecutors in 1856, that made the book and its main character
quite notorious. It became a bestseller in 1857.
The novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has many illicit and passionate
affairs and lives way beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness
of life with a rather dull and boring doctor.
