  • Book of a Lifetime: Madame Bovary, By Gustave Flaubert

    After sneaking onto a literature degree via a comprehensive, I found myself nonplussed by the rules and exclusions. Authors from the English-speaking canon were permitted for my relish. Arbitrarily, so were the Russians. Ladlefuls of Tolstoy, Gogol a ... (read full critics)

  • Madame Bovary

    Un paesino di campagna, delle letture popolari, dei sogni giovanili e fanciulleschi scaturiti da quest'ultime e infine una donna, una ragazza nell'animo: Emma Rouault. Dall'altro lato un medico di campagna approssimativo e dozzinale, poco abile, disa ... (read full critics)

    Reading Madame Bovary is getting into a women's life through a man's eyes. The great effort the Flaubert is doing here is entering the story not as a narrator but as a subtle psychologist. He makes us forget that he is a man, we only see a sad woman struggling to be satisfied with her life. He is gradually putting away his willing to talk as an omniscent and superior voice, Emma fascinates him as well. So, if the novel begins with an inexplicable "We", then it is only a "she" well mixed with a female "I" that imposes itself. Anyway, the end of the story is a bit hurried. Emma goes away silently, and what remains is the hope of a better future for her daughter. In some ways, one feels relieved when Emma passes on. Personally speaking, however, I expected something more dramatic. Probably she was just tired of trying to make her life fabuolous. What she finally wanted was just to keep quiet withou rebelling to what is impossible to defeat: the time that is given to you, however you spend it.

  • Emma è veramente odiosa! L'ho letto tutto (con enorme fatica) solo perché sapevo che fa una brutta fine
