Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Emma Bovary is an avid reader of sentimental novels; brought up on a Normandy farm and convent-educated, she longs for the passion of romance. At first, Emma pins her hopes on marriage, but life with her well-meaning husband in the provinces leaves her bored and dissatisfied. She seeks escape through extravagant spending sprees and, eventually, adultery. As Emma pursues her impossible reverie she seals her own ruin and despair. Exquisite, moving, at times ferociously satirical and always psychologically acute, Madame Bovary remains one of the greatest, most beguiling novels ever written. This stunning new translation, by the celebrated novelist Adam Thorpe, delicately and meticulously transposes the rhythms, tone and poetry of Madame Bovary and brings us closer to its shifting depths. It is destined to become the definitive English translation of our time.

Esperienza intensa! Trama interessante, attuale con una protagonista forte ma fragile allo stesso tempo, con desideri che almeno una volta nella vita anche noi abbiamo provato!

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.
