I read this (English translation) to prepare for my "Rise of the Novel" class. My version includes a lengthy introduction by Raymond MacKenzie, which helped me understand the context.

justice for Charles :( i also feel bad for Madame Bovary and how her wishes were never fulfilled but the life lesson is to learn to be satisfied with what you have. dull at times with descriptions but overall a good read

Letto con GDL #mattonifrancesi

Una sofferenza.
L'ho finito solo grazie all'audiolibro ma è stato noioso e pesante.
Abbandonato e ripreso diverse volte, avrei dovuto interrompere la lettura e dimenticarmi di averlo iniziato.

Non darò alcuna valutazione perché sento di poterlo apprezzare davvero con una lettura più attenta; quando arriverà il momento giusto lo rileggerò.

So, as a classic, this was amazing. I was talking to someone about all the things I don't like about the book and I realized that I'm not *meant* to like them. Then I realized that Mr. Gustave Flaubert did a very good job
