Books by Gustave Flaubert

Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating. Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: 'Madame Bovary, c'est moi'.A new translation by Lydia Davis

Emma Bovary er ved at blive kvalt i et provinsielt miljø og prøver at realisere sit behov for handling i elskovsaffærer med forskellige mænd i byen.

Emma Bovary er gift med en brav, men ikke alt for spændende læge i en lille fransk by. Hun er ved at blive kvalt i det provinsielle miljø og ønsker på én gang at dø og at bo i Paris, men hun prøver dog at realisere sine romantiske drømme og sit behov for handling i elskovsaffærer med forskellige mænd i byen. Disse forhold bringer hende menneskeligt og økonomisk mere og mere på afveje. For at undgå småborgerskabets nedværdigende fordømmelse tager hun arsenik i panik og lider en langsom, pinefuld og alt andet end værdig død.

With his first glimpse of Madame Arnoux, Frederic Moreau is convinced he has found his romantic destiny, but he is caught up in the revolution of 1848 and the attractions of three other women. Flaubert's portrait of an idealist in a disenchanted world influenced later modernists, and is here newly translated.

First published in 1877, these three stories are dominated by questions of doubt, love, loneliness and religious experience, and together form a triumphant conclusion to Flaubert's literary career. With elegant simplicity, 'A Simple Heart' relates the story of F licit - an uneducated serving-woman who retains her Catholic faith despite a life of desolation and loss. Inspired by a stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral, 'The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator' describes the fate of Julian, a sadistic hunter destined to murder his own parents. The blend of faith and cruelty that dominates this story may also be found in 'Herodias' - a reworking of the tale of Salom and John the Baptist.

An epic story of lust, cruelty, and sensuality, this historical novel is set in Carthage in the days following the First Punic War with Rome.
