Madame Bovary
Madame Bovary is a landmark realist novel written by French author Gustave Flaubert and published in 1857. Considered a masterpiece of world literature, the novel famously pushed boundaries for its unflinching psychological realism and moral complexity, leading to an obscenity trial for Flaubert upon its release (though he was ultimately acquitted).
Set in provincial 19th-century France, the story is a devastating critique of romantic idealism, bourgeois boredom, and the dangerous gap between fantasy and reality.
