Publisher Description
Flaubert's genius lay in his infinite capacity for taking pains, and Madame Bovary, so true in it's characterization, so vivid in its setting, is testimony to the realism of his work.
Perhaps no book in the history of the novel has received more attention than this tale of a provincial woman who cannot bear the discrepancy between her romantic dreams and the dull routine of her daily life. She seeks adventure, but finds only tragedy.
Customer Reviews
Great book - terrible reader
The book is great, but the reader is terrible - reading this emotional novel in a dull and monotonous voice which makes you want to die from boredom.
I purchased this recording since it was cheap, but after one hour of listening I couldn't stand it any more and downloaded the more expensive recording read by Davina Porter.
She does a great job, making the listening to this book a memorable and exciting experience.
Great...and cheap.
Wonderful book and...cheap!..less than half the price of the other two versions offered by Itunes.
Amazing
An amazing book - totally draws you into its world. Well read, too.
