1857 novel by Gustave Flaubert

Bovary
Madame Bovary: Provincial Manners (; French: Madame Bovary : Mœurs de province [madam bɔvaʁi mœʁ(s) də pʁɔvɛ̃s]), commonly known as simply Madame Bovary, is the début novel by French writer Gustave Flaubert, originally published in 1856 and 1857. The eponymous character, Emma Bovary, lives beyond her means in order to escape the ennui of provincial life. When the novel was first serialized in Revue de Paris between 1 October and 15 December 1856, public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_Bovary
