Gustave Flaubert’s debut novel, Madame Bovary, published in 1856, landed the French author in court on charges of obscenity. He won the case but the publicity made the novel a best-selling sensation. It took Flaubert 5 years to write Madame Bovary, and today it’s considered one of the best novels in the French language. Dozens of films and TV dramas are based on this story and almost everyone has heard of it. So in this video, I will summarise Madame Bovary, tell you about its major themes and a few points of analysis, and answer the question, how fiction impacts reality. I will also show you the genius of Flaubert’s precise language and beautiful description by giving some example passages from the novel. In the end, I will compare it to Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, which I discussed a few weeks ago. Gustave Flaubert in Focus: • Flaubert’s Genius Artistic Philosophy
