About This Novel
"Madame Bovary (Illustrated Collector's Edition)", formerly known as "Madame Bovary: Provincial Customs", is the representative work that established Flaubert's literary status and the pioneering work of realist literature.

Both lovers abandoned her, and there was no one else to support her. Emma is heading towards destruction step by step...
