內容簡介 嚮往中世紀騎士愛情的艾瑪，為了追尋浪漫的電光火花，甘心在貪婪虛浮的俗世裡沉淪。盲目的追逐和偷情的歡愉所換來的，卻是無盡的空虛與絕望……從小在修道院長大的農家女孩艾瑪，嚮往騎士美女的浪漫愛情，渴望享有纏綿悱惻的激情和幸福，但她丈夫是個平庸無趣的小鎮醫生，使得滿懷憧憬的艾瑪大失所望。於是，她像飛蛾撲火般，追尋不倫的婚外戀情，在荒誕的情慾中，一步步走向墮落的深淵……本中文書介出自《包法利夫人》崇文館出版Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and devastating consequences. Flaubert’s erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: “Madame Bovary, c’est moi.” One of the greatest novels of the 19th century, Flaubert’s torrid debut lives on in Geoffrey Wall’s brilliant translation. This edition features an introduction by Wall, and a preface on Emma Bovary’s femininity and modernity by novelist Michèle Roberts.Part of Penguin’s beautiful hardcover Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design."
