Synopsis "Madame Bovary (in Spanish)"

Charles Bovary, modesto medico de pueblo, se casa con Emma, de familia acomodada, educada como una senorita, pero con la cabeza llena de lecturas y suenos romanticos. La estrechez de miras del marido y la placidez de una vida insulsa dejan insatisfecha a Emma, cuya ansiedad no consigue aplacar ni el nacimiento de una hija. Tras el paso fugaz y templado de Leon por su vida, aparece Rodolphe, un elegante de provincias, que la seduce facilmente y le induce a creer que ha encontrado la pasion verdadera que tanto deseaba. Pero Emma vivira siempre desgarrada entre la prosaica realidad en la que vive y un ilusorio mundo de amores y riquezas. Esta obra maestra de la literatura mundial de todos los tiempos, nos llega ahora en la magnifica version espanola de Carmen Martin Gaite, una de nuestras escritoras mas admiradas, que tan bien ha sabido captar la naturaleza particular del alma inquieta de Emma Bovary. / When Emma marries doctor Charles Bovary, her dreams of an elegant and passionate life crumble. Motherhood proves to be a burden; religion is only a brief distraction. She spends lavishly and embarks on a series of disappointing affairs. Soon heartbroken and crippled by debts, Emma takes drastic action with tragic consequences for her husband and daughter.

Gustave Flaubert (Rouen, December 12, 1821-Croisset, May 8, 1880) was a French writer. Considered one of the greatest novelists worldwide, he is mainly known for his novel Madame Bovary, as well as for his scrupulous devotion to his art and style, the best example of which was his endless search for le mot juste (‘the exact word’).
