Madame Bovary (Petits Classiques Larousse Texte Integral) (French Edition)

Spanish Language CommentarySIN DUDA ALGUNA, LA NOVELA M S IMPORTANTE DEL REALISMO LITERARIO

Considerada una de las mejores obras ling ¼ ­sticas de la historia, es una de las novelas que dieron principio a la narrativa moderna.

Gustave Flaubert nos muestra su punto de vista sobre la vida de la alta sociedad en la Francia de principios del siglo xix a trav ©s de Emma Bovary, mujer infelizmente casada, cuyos sue ±os chocan cruelmente con la realidad. El autor rompe con todas las convenciones morales y literarias de la burgues ­a de la ©poca, tal vez porque nadie antes se hab ­a atrevido a presentar un prototipo de hero ­na de ficci ³n tan rebelde y poco resignada al destino.
