【Content Introduction】
Madame Bovary is the representative work of the French critical realist novelist Flaubert. The educated farm girl Emma married the rural doctor Bovary, but she yearned for a more luxurious and romantic life. After two affairs and facing heavy debts, she ended up with a bad ending. When marriage cannot meet the expectations of love, when the charm of novelty fades, love reveals eternal monotony. Flaubert criticized the decadent and corrupt social life in the early capitalist society and the vulgarity and meanness of the petty bourgeoisie.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Flaubert (1821-1880), a great critical realist writer in 19th century France and the literary mentor of the short story master Maupassant, is known as the "founder of modern Western novels."
He entered school at the age of 9 and began to try to write novels at the age of 14. At the age of 19, he entered the law school of the University of Paris and failed the law examination at the age of 22. The following year, he suddenly developed neurosis and was almost killed by the disease. From then on, he interrupted his studies and devoted himself to literary creation. At the age of 30, he devoted himself to writing "Madame Bovary" and it took five years of hard work to complete the manuscript. Flaubert's requirements for his works were almost nitpicking. He regarded literary creation as his life and revised every sentence in his works repeatedly. After the publication of "Madame Bovary", it was regarded as the "code of the new art" and a "perfect novel".
Flaubert remained unmarried, and loneliness and depression accompanied him throughout his life. His death at the age of 59 due to a stroke shocked the entire literary world.
