Madame Bovary - Abstract text (Paperback)

Customer Review

Madame Bovary is my first classic book I read since college! Indeed, the required readings of the day did not let me lasting memories and have even turned away from the literary style and the many masterpiece it contains.

When the publishing house Le Livre de Poche Jeunesse offered me some great classic reissued in abridged version with more current and modern covers, I thought 'why not' ?! "

So here I am immersed in the work of Gustave Flaubert, finally getting to know Emma! Madame Bovary is a book that caused a scandal when it was published in 1857. I can understand why, because in the 19th century, modern, romantic women and infidels' were not legion! So Flaubert narrates the story of a beautiful young woman, Emma, ​​who was raised in a convent. Identifying with the heroines of love novels she reads, she imagines a life filled with love, romance and passion. However, the poor quickly déchantera by marrying the brave doctor Charles Bovary. The latter is a platitude and a disconcerting softness. Madly in love with his wife, she did hate that in addition! Full chimeras head, she turned to other men who unfortunately for her, will prove deceitful, selfish and without courage. Emma is total disillusionment '

Gustave Flaubert's writing, despite the turns of the time, remains fluid and easy to read. It depicts the time of the bourgeoisie and its characters in great detail, but never takes sides. It does not find Emma, ​​although its selfish and egocentric side we do not make it more friendly 'by Charles against made me pity on end as he placed his wife on a pedestal'

In conclusion, Madame Bovary is a classic to have in his library. This abridged version (about 320 pages against 500 for the full version) just seemed very full. I did not have the impression of "miss" anything from history. Instead, the small number of pages and most modern coverage will certainly attract a different kind of players.
