{"product_id":"madame-bovary-9780486292571","title":"Madame Bovary","description":"At convent school, a girl acquires romantic notions of a lover who will live for her alone. She marries a kind but dull country doctor and discovers that \"This life of hers was as cold as an attic that looks north; and boredom, quiet as the spider, was spinning its web in the shadowy places of her heart.\" Emma Bovary's quest for escape from the emptiness of her bourgeois existence leads to infidelity and financial extravagance, and Gustave Flaubert's powerful and deeply moving examination of her moral degeneration is universally regarded as a landmark of nineteenth-century fiction.\u003cbr\u003eFlaubert was brought to trial by the French government on the grounds of this novel's alleged immorality but narrowly escaped conviction. \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e remains a touchstone for literary discussions of provincial life and adultery as well as a summit of prose art, a pioneering work of realism that forever changed the way novels are written. This complete and unabridged edition features the classic translation by Eleanor Marx-Aveling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486292571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.13w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/05\/2013 pg. 101\u003cbr\u003e\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":36637728374940,"sku":"9780486292571","price":7.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e1dfdd75-2c40-456d-99e1-75c78fc7294a.jpg?v=1603845543","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/madame-bovary-9780486292571","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
