Madame Bovary is the unforgettable story of a woman who dreams of a life more beautiful, more passionate, and more meaningful than the one she has been given. Trapped in a provincial marriage and suffocated by routine, Emma Bovary seeks escape through romance, luxury, and fantasy-only to discover that desire carries its own cruel costs.

With surgical precision and profound psychological insight, Gustave Flaubert exposes the illusions of love, the seductions of consumer culture, and the quiet devastation of disappointment. Elegant, ironic, and devastatingly modern, Madame Bovary remains one of literature's most incisive portraits of longing and self-deception.
