"Flaubert's tragic novel stands as a brilliant portrayal of infidelity, an incisive psychological portrait of a woman town between duty and desire. Written with acute attention to telling detail, Madame Bovary exposes the emptiness of one woman's bourgeois existence and her failure to fill that void with fantasies, sex, and material objects. Emma's thirst for life mirrors the universal human impulse for idealized fulfillment."--back cover.
