The award-winning, nationally bestselling translation, by Lydia Davis, of one of the world’s most celebrated novels “The best English version by far, because its deadpan reminds us that the book is both a great realist novel and a satire of realism.” —Merve Emre, The New Yorker Emma Bovary is the original desperate housewife. Beautiful but bored, she spends lavishly on clothes and on her home and embarks on two disappointing affairs in an effort to make her life everything she believes it should be. Soon heartbroken and crippled by debts, she takes drastic action, with tragic consequences for her husband and daughter. In this landmark new translation of Gustave Flaubert's masterwork, award-winning writer and translator Lydia Davis honors the nuances and particulars of Flaubert's legendary prose style, giving new life in English to the book that redefined the novel as an art form.

Madame Bovary di Gustave Flaubert è un capolavoro della letteratura realista, scritto con uno stile raffinato e impeccabile. La storia di Emma, donna inquieta e sognatrice, affascina per la sua intensità emotiva e per la lucidità con cui l’autore ne racconta la discesa nella disillusione. Flaubert dipinge con precisione chirurgica l’ipocrisia della società e l’insoddisfazione borghese. Ogni pagina è intrisa di bellezza tragica e profonda verità psicologica. Un romanzo indimenticabile, che colpisce e commuove ancora oggi.
