About this audiobook

Flaubert's first published novel, Madame Bovary is awash in exquisite 19th century realism and detail. Frequently cited as one of the great masterpieces of literature, Madame Bovary is also renown for it's notorious history. Emma Bovary lived in a world of romantic dreams. Her selfish and demanding ways led to a gradual corruption that showed her to be an utterly shallow and vain woman, but her escapades and caprices draw us into her story.

Ratings and reviews

this is the worst book I've ever read. the characters are all too human, shallow and maddening. the story is boring and horribly sad. I would liken this book to "out of the dust," and would not recommend it to anyone.
