About This Novel
This book is the representative work of Flaubert, the French critical realist novelist. It tells the story of Emma, a peasant girl who received an aristocratic education. She looked down on her husband Bovary, a rural doctor, and dreamed of a legendary love. However, her two affairs not only failed to bring her happiness, but also made her an object of exploitation by loan sharks. In the end, she accumulated so much debt that she had no choice but to commit suicide by taking poison. With a seemingly indifferent attitude, Flaubert very "objectively" revealed the causes and consequences that led to this tragedy, and stated the responsibility that society cannot shirk.
