Seeking excitement and fulfilment, Emma turns to affairs, luxury and increasingly reckless spending. Flaubert's precise prose and unsentimental observation create a powerful study of illusion, desire, boredom and self-deception, making the novel one of the masterpieces of nineteenth-century realism. She seeks excitement through affairs, luxury and fantasy, gradually accumulating debts and emotional disappointment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216490447187,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421152788819,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/madame-bovary-1997-folio-society-1010","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
