A classic!
For this masterpiece of Flaubert, the author spent nearly 5 years searching for words and sentences, and his language has reached the level of proficiency. It narrates the love story of Charles and Emma and reveals the ugly face of bourgeois society. It can be regarded as a representative work of realism.
Not bad, pretty good
Is this a summary?
The most pitiable thing is little Bert
Everyone has his own ambition
The translation is terrible
It's really fate that plays tricks on people. Emma pursues her love, but Charles only wants to make Emma happy. Charles has been living in his own dream.
Not bad, not bad
