This book is a collection of Flaubert's classic works. It's in English, so English lovers shouldn't miss it. Take "Madame Bovary" as an example. This is a novel written by the French writer Flaubert and first published in 1857. The novel is based on a true story: the poisoning case of a country doctor's wife. The work tells the story of Emma, ​​a peasant girl who received an aristocratic education. It describes a love affair that is very common both in life and in literary works. However, the author's brushwork perceives sensitive areas that others have not touched. He uses delicate brushstrokes to describe the process of the protagonist's emotional degradation. The work criticizes the negative influence of negative romantic literature, sharply criticizes the evil deeds of provincial aristocrats, landowners, loan sharks, and philistines, exposes the decadent social customs of capitalist society and the vulgarity and vulgarity of small citizens, and truly reproduces the cruel reality under the cover of superficial prosperity in the early stages of capitalist development.

This book selects the private letters written by Flaubert to his lover Louise Collet. These letters record their eight-year affectionate correspondence. They are not only the most touching love letters in the 19th century, but also present Flaubert's struggle and confession in love, loneliness, art and self-doubt. "She both wanted to die and wanted to go to Paris" was Flaubert's creation of Madame Bovary, inspired by Louise Collet. Emma's original words are also the most touching footnote of this book - dedicated to everyone who longs to escape but is trapped by life. This is not a fictional novel, but an archive of real emotions; it is not only love literature, but also a documentary of how a writer refines love into language.
