Madam Bova. Flobert G.

The history of the literary masterpiece of Gustav Flaubert began with a scandal: the author was accused of “insulting public morality, religion and good customs” and attracted to the court, as a result of which they justified. All these events only added popularity to the novel, which is now considered one of the best in world literature.

with merciless frankness in the novel, a dangerous way to substitute reality with empty dreams and vain illusions is shown. The main character, Emma Bova, obsessed with the desire of the eternal holiday, romantic passions, who betrayed and ruined his family, finds a tragic exit from the life of a dead end.
