The novel "Madame Bovary," once condemned for offending public morality, has shocked and enthralled readers for a century and a half.
Dreams of an "ideal marriage" are shattered; the "prince" Emma imagined turns out to be a dull provincial doctor, and, suffocating in a dreary, joyless marriage, she desperately begins to seek happiness in "romantic" affairs…
Such is the plot of one of the most significant works in the history of French literature – a masterpiece about a young woman's "small tragedy" that has been adapted for the screen many times.
