Overview
La novela más conocida de Gustave Flaubert y una de las grandes obras de la literatura universal nos acerca a la historia de Emma Rouault, una joven de origen campesino y huérfana de madre que contrae matrimonio con el médico Charles Bovary. El afán por ser la protagonista de una vida romántica presidida por el amor, ambición que su marido no puede satisfacer, será la perdición de la ingenua muchacha, que buscará por todos los medios, con aventuras y con amantes, escapar al tedio, la monotonía y la exasperación que se han apoderado de su vida.
La presente edición, en reciente traducción de Mauro Armiño, incluye los fragmentos, descubiertos entre los manuscritos de Flaubert, que el autor decidió a última hora no incluir en la novela. Completan el volumen un estudio introductorio de Jacques Neefs, de la Johns Hopkins University, y una cronología flaubertiana.
«Intentaba saber qué se entendía exactamente en la vida por las palabras "felicidad", "pasión" y "ebriedad", que tan hermosas le habían parecido en los libros.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"The best books never written.
Gustave Flaubert's best-known novel and one of the great works of world literature brings us closer to the story of Emma Rouault, a young, orphaned woman of peasant origin who marries the doctor Charles Bovary. Her desire to be the protagonist of a romantic life presided over by love, an ambition that her husband cannot satisfy, will be the downfall of the naive girl, who will try by any means necessary, through adventures and lovers, to escape the tedium, monotony, and exasperation that has taken over her life.
The current edition, a recent translation by Mauro Armiño, includes the fragments, discovered among Flaubert's manuscripts, that the author decided at the last minute not to include in the novel. The volume is completed with an introductory study by Jacques Neefs of Johns Hopkins University and a Flaubertian chronology.
"She was trying to find out, in life, what exactly was meant by the words ‘happiness’, ‘passion,’ and ‘intoxication,’ which had seemed so beautiful to her in books. "
