{"product_id":"madame-bovary-9780451418500","title":"Madame Bovary","description":"Both embodiment and victim of the self-satisfied nineteenth-century French bourgeoisie, Emma Bovary lives in pursuit of something more, like the world depicted in the romance novels that have come to define her. Emma is oblivious to the realities of life, and her romantic delusions and search for transcendence through sex, money, and social position serve only to drive the increasingly troubled woman into an irreversible moral, emotional, and spiritual decline. That the author depicted his heroine in neutral terms, without condemnation, resulted in obscenity charges from the French courts, which likened the \"lascivious\" \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e's \"lack of restraint\" to \"a woman who throws off all garments.\" Exactly. \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary \u003c\/i\u003eremains one of the most daring and liberating novels ever written. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncludes The Trial of Madame Bovary \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated by Mildred Marmur \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an Introduction by Robin Morgan and a New Afterword by Frederick Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780451418500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.20w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e167218 \/ Madame Bovary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.1 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 27\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gustave Flaubert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051639730357,"sku":"9780451418500","price":8.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/madame-bovary-9780451418500","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
