Madame Bovary è il primo romanzo di Gustave Flaubert. Appena pubblicato, nelm 1856, fu messo sotto inchiesta per "oltraggio alla morale". In seguito, divenne un bestseller sotto forma di libro nell'aprile del medesimo anno, ed oggi è considerato uno dei primi esempi di romanzo realista. Del realismo ha l’accurata descrizione degli ambienti, la descrizione approfondita dei personaggi, che devono essere verosimili (Falubert ebbe occasione di dire “Madame Bovary sono io”).

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)

The Gustave Flaubert Library is a refuge for those who still believe that style is not an ornament, but a destiny. Here, books are not abridged, distorted, or hurried toward convenience; they are given whole, with the patience that art demands. Each episode offers a complete reading, so that the listener may surrender to the full cadence of a work, to its beauty, its irony, its languor, and its truth.

Roman inachevé, publié en 1881 après la mort de Flaubert, Bouvard et Pécuchet met en scène, sous les noms de ses deux protagonistes, l’irrémédiable échec érigé en art. D’un humour acide, l’auteur y pousse plus loin encore sa charge, éreintant illusions et prétentions avec une précision implacable. Fresque de la faillite humaine, ce classique posthume dresse un miroir cruel et jubilatoire, où l’entêtement et la soif de certitudes se heurtent aux limites du monde. Une écoute savoureuse pour goûter l’ironie flaubertienne à son plus haut degré.
