Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Madame Bovary is Flaubert's masterpiece, initially a succes de scandale and now a landmark in European literature.

He took for his subject French bourgeois life in all its inglorious banality, and invented a paradoxically original and wholly modern style to match.
