📖 Madame Bovary

Madame Bovary is French writer Gustave Flaubert's debut novel, and undoubtedly his most well-known. It contains an omniscient narrator telling the story of Emma Rouault, and her dream of life beyond her provincial life married to a doctor. Charles Bovary is a fifteen year old boy.. He's studying in health school to become a physician, but isn't doing very well. His grades are dropping, and he eventually settles to become a public health officer. He gets married to someone his father picked for him, Héloïse Dubuc. She's very unpleasant but supposedly very wealthy from her late husband. Charles also starts working in the town of Tostes. Emma Rouault is in her late teenage years. She loves reading sentimental romance novels, and sees the world as romantic due to it. She craves something more than the life she has, and desires wealth, beauty, and being in the highest social class. However, her father is a mere farmer and she doesn't have the money to achieve her dreams. One day, when Charles arrives at Emma's house to treat her father's broken leg, he sees Emma and falls in love with her, and her view of the world and heavy passion. After Héloïse dies, Charles asks for Emma's father's approval for their marriage, and he agrees. Emma Rouault is now Emma Bovary, or Madame Bovary. One day, while at a party, Emma dances with a nobleman, and things take a turn for her. She gets bored of her life living with Charles, and wants to go to Paris and make a name for herself, and start acting on her dreams. This leads her to explore her dream world, albeit through many affairs and illegal acts. However, the higher you fly, the harder you fall… I heavily recommend this book because it's become a classic in English literature. It perfectly contrasts Emma's world of romance and hedonism with the harsh reality of life, through an omniscient view of everything, which puts Emma's world into a realm bordering delusions. It's also a tragedy in a way, where doomed love and passion take control of one's body, leaving the rationalism to decay.

《包法利夫人》是法国作家居斯塔夫·福楼拜的处女作,也是他无疑最广为人知的作品。小说由全知视角的叙述者讲述爱玛·鲁欧的故事,以及她对超越 provincial(封闭乡间)生活的梦想——她嫁给了一名医生,却心怀渴望。 夏尔·包法利十五岁,在卫生学校学习,希望成为一名医生,但成绩并不好,逐渐下滑。他最终只好满足于成为一名公共卫生官。他与父亲替他选定的女子埃洛伊丝·迪布克结婚。埃洛伊丝性格令人不快,但据说从前夫那里继承了大量财产。夏尔也开始在托斯特镇行医。 爱玛·鲁欧喜欢读感伤的爱情小说,因此以浪漫的眼光看世界。她渴望超越现有的生活,追求财富、美貌,以及上流社会的地位。然而,她的父亲只是个普通农民,她也没有足够的金钱来实现自己的梦想。 有一天,夏尔到爱玛家为她父亲治疗摔断的腿时,看见爱玛,便爱上了她,以及她看待世界的方式与强烈的热情。埃洛伊丝去世后,夏尔向爱玛的父亲提出请求,希望与爱玛结婚,父亲同意了。于是,爱玛·鲁欧成了爱玛·包法利,或称"包法利夫人"。 一次,他们参加宴会时,爱玛与一位贵族男子共舞,从此一切开始发生改变。她对与夏尔的生活感到厌倦,渴望前往巴黎闯出名声,并开始追逐自己的梦想。于是她开始沉浸于幻想世界,尽管过程中伴随着多次婚外情和违法行为。然而,飞得越高,摔得也越重…… 我强烈推荐这本书,因为它已成为英语文学中的经典。它完美呈现了爱玛的浪漫与享乐主义世界,与现实生活的残酷之间的鲜明对比——通过全知视角,将爱玛的幻想推向近乎妄想的边缘。从某种意义上说,这也是一部悲剧,注定失败的爱情与激情控制了人的身心,而理性则在其中逐渐腐朽。

Madame Bovary is the debut novel of French writer Gustave Flaubert, published in 1856. The character lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. When the novel was first serialized in La Revue de Paris between 1 October 1856 and 15 December 1856, public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. After Flaubert's acquittal on 7 February 1857, Madame Bovary became a bestseller in April 1857 when it was published in two volumes. A seminal work of literary realism, the novel is now considered Flaubert's masterpiece, and one of the most influential literary works in history.

《包法利夫人》是法国作家古斯塔夫·福楼拜的处女作,出版于 1856 年。为了逃避乡 土生活的平庸和空虚,这个角色过着入不敷出的生活。 当这部小说于 1856 年 10 月 1 日至 1856 年 12 月 15 日在巴黎歌舞剧院首次连载时,检察官以淫秽为由攻击该小 说。 1857 年 1 月的审判使这个故事臭名昭著。 1857 年 2 月 7 日福楼拜无罪释放 后,《包法利夫人》于 1857 年 4 月分两卷出版,成为畅销书。 这部小说是文学现实 主义的开创性作品,现在被认为是福楼拜的杰作,也是历史上最有影响力的文学作品之 一。 推荐理由: 《包法利夫人》是一幅精彩的心理画像,刻骨铭心地描绘了人类寻求超越 的心灵。 Sep Part Two 一年百万,让我们一起阅读吧 欢迎加入YDRC百万阅读俱乐部
