Madame Bovary

On the occasion of Mr. Xu Yuanchong's 100th birthday, a new illustrated commemorative edition of "Three French Literary Classics" is launched. Among them, "Madame Bovary" is a masterpiece of the novel by the famous French writer Flaubert, and also a representative translation of the famous translator Xu Yuanchong. "Madame Bovary" uses concise and delicate writing to reproduce the social life of France in the mid-19th century through the experience of Emma, ​​a passionate woman. Emma, ​​the heroine who is romantic by nature, has a very boring life after marriage. She dreams of a legendary romantic love and looks down on her husband, Charles Bovary, who is a rural doctor. So, she began to use loans to support her vanity and affairs to fill the hole in her heart. However, her two extramarital affairs not only failed to bring her happiness, but also left her heavily in debt, until she walked towards death step by step in the trap she dug. This book incorporates female desire into a literary theme for the first time and is regarded as "the code of new art" and a "perfect novel". It is a writing model for many literary masters. It was selected into the British BBC's "100 Stories that Changed the World" and the British "Guardian" Top 100 Novels. The film of the same name was shortlisted for the 64th Academy Awards.
