Notes:
Brought up on a Normandy farm, convent-educated and an avid reader of sentimental novels, Emma Bovary longs for a life of luxury and high romance. She is married to a well-meaning but mediocre country doctor, but she is far from fulfilled. She seeks to escape her boredom through extravagant spending sprees and, eventually, adultery.
Written in a controlled style by the mover of the realist school in France, Madame Bovary was banned for its crude sexual content and immorality.
This volume is No. 7 in The Independent's Banned Books series, an exclusive collection of 25 censored titles and literary landmarks.
