Here is a collection of strikingly different pieces by Flaubert: a prose poem in the voices of Death, Satan and Nero; the trials and apotheosis of a medieval saint; and the life of a selfless maid in 19th century France.

La soñadora Emma, una joven de provincias casada con Charles Bovary, quien la ama pero es incapaz de comprenderla y satisfacerla, buscará la realización de sus sueños en otros amores, pasionales, platónicos..., pero ninguno de ellos logrará calmar su desesperada ansiedad y sus románticas inquietudes. La publicación de Madame Bovary (1856) provocó el escándalo de la burguesía francesa, esclava de mil prejuicios, y el proceso judicial que siguió contribuyó a un éxito editorial sin precedentes. Flaubert veía así cómo su obra servía más para satisfacer el morbo que para ...

Emma Bovary ist unglücklich: sie ist mit einem rechtschaffenen Arzt verheiratet, der sie gut behandelt, jedoch nicht die Erfüllung ihrer Wünsche und Sehnsüchte ermöglichen kann. Um dem für sie banalen, langweiligen Landleben zu entfliehen, lebt sie über ihre Verhältnisse, und begibt sich in ein Netz von Abhängigkeiten. Dadurch wird ihre eheliche Treue auf eine harte Probe gestellt - und sie beginnt, gegen die moralischen Vorstellungen ihrer Zeit, ihre unglückliche Heirat und die Schicksalergebenheit, die man von ihr erwartet, zu rebellieren... - Summary by Boris

Story0
Written over a century and a half ago, Madame Bovary is still an extraordinarily fresh, exciting and shockingly frank novel, at once an acute psychological study of a woman drawn into adultery through circumstances we can partly understand, and a sharply-observed comedy that offers a fascinating glimpse of the social and cultural divisions running through French provincial society in the mid nineteenth century. This translation is by Eleanor Marx-Aveling, a prominent social activist and literary translator. She was the youngest daughter of Karl Marx. (Summary by Peter Dann)

Published in book form in April 1857, the novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was notoriously perfectionist about his writing and claimed to always be searching for le mot juste (the right word)". (Summary from Wikipedia).

Evidentemente no consiguió ese objetivo, pero nos ha dejado una colección de Entremeses (piezas cómicas de un sólo acto) que están considerados, por varios motivos, la cumbre del género.Don Miguel de Cervantes nos regala 8 situaciones del Siglo de Oro, mezclando verdades como puños con burlas y agudo sentido del humor, con ese sabor tan castizo como universal ...
