3.57 AVERAGE


L’histoire est assez longue. J’ai réellement apprécié ma lecture qu’à partir de la troisième partie où tout se précipite.
Les deux premières parties étaient assez longues et ne semblaient allez nulle part (comme la vie de Frédéric peut-être ?).
Je suis contente de l’avoir lu mais ce roman ne m’a pas particulièrement marqué ou même plu.

Flaubert at his best though he makes you work for it. The payoffs from the close read were worth the effort. Reading it with a class and a professor definitely enhanced my appreciation and admiration for the book and author.

This book is part of those I could not finish. I only read the 7 first chapters. It took me a whole week. Forced by my mum 'cos it was for school and she saw I was struggling. I prefered reading "Le Rouge et le Noir" from Stendhal.

This may well have resonated better if I hadn't been listening to a distinctly uneven Librivox recording.

'Madame Bovary' es una de mis novelas favoritas, así que empecé 'La educación sentimental' con toda la ilusión del mundo, pero no pude con ella. Tanta descripción impresionista me hacía venir dolor de cabeza. Es un libro que me agotaba. No sé si me atreveré nunca a volverlo a intentar.

Incroyablement ennuyeux. Pourtant j'avais adoré Madame Bovary. Je retenterais ma chance une autre fois.
