About this listen

 Issue de la bourgeoisie, Emma Bovary est élevée dans un couvent, où elle fera son "éducation sentimentale" en lisant les œuvres romantiques à la mode. Son mari, Charles Bovary, ne ressemble en rien aux amants mystérieux et délicats de ses lectures : c'est un officier de santé qui exerce dans un village normand où Emma, confrontée à la réalité de la vie quotidienne, va peu à peu perdre pied.

L'interprétation magistrale d'Alain Lawrence magnifie cette œuvre intemporelle.©Domaine public (P)2011 Sixtrid SAS Classics

The book is a great French classic; the story is very strong, although it may have aged a bit as it is difficult to really empathise with Emma, the main protagonist, and it is really worth knowing about the historical period in which the story is set.
The beautiful rhythm of the Flaubert's prose is very well served by the very pleasant narration of Alain Lawrence.
One slight issue: the female voices rendered in the falsetto voice sound childish and are distracting..

Beautiful French Classic - good reader
