"Madame Bovary", Flaubert's first published novel, is his greatest and a masterpiece of Universal literature. Emma Bovary has become one of the most famous characters in world literature, and critics continue to debate and interpret her life, which, in its depiction of the conflict between idealism and reality, remains every bit as relevant today as it did when first published.

The centre of the novel is the character Emma Bovary, but the French author Gustave Flaubert also emphasised his social critic towards the life in French provinces in the 19th century. The themes of the novel are marriage and adultery.

She grows increasingly bored and unhappy with her middle-class existence, and even the birth of their daughter, Berthe, brings Emma little joy.
