Charles means well, but is boring and clumsy, and after he and Emma attend a ball given by the Marquis d'Andervilliers, Emma grows disillusioned with married life and becomes dull and listless. At this point, the novel begins to focus on Emma. Her father gives his consent, and Emma and Charles are married. When Heloise dies, Charles waits a decent interval then begins courting Emma in earnest. Charles is immediately attracted to her, and begins checking on his patient far more often than necessary until Heloise's jealousy puts a stop to the visits. Emma is a beautiful, daintily dressed young woman who has received a "good education" in a convent and who has a latent but powerful yearning for luxury and romance imbibed from the popular novels she has read. The celebrated short story writer Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.One day, Charles visits a local farm to set the owner's broken leg, and meets his client's daughter, Emma Rouault. Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880) was an influential French writer who was perhaps the leading exponent of literary realism of his country. The story begins and ends with Charles Bovary, a stolid, kindhearted man without much ability or ambition. Madame Bovary takes place in provincial northern France, near the town of Rouen in Normandy.
Flaubert was a notorious perfectionist and claimed always to be searching for le mot juste ("the precise word"). Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Madame Bovary is the French writer Gustave Flaubert's debut novel. This carefully crafted ebook: “Madame Bovary - Bilingual Edition (English / French)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
