One of the acknowledged masterpieces of 19th century realism, Madame Bovary is revered by writers and readers around the world, a mandatory stop on any pilgrimage through modern literature. Flaubert's legendary style, his intense care over the selection of words and the shaping of sentences, his unmatched ability to convey a mental world through the careful selection of telling details, shine on every page of this marvelous work. Now the award-winning translator Margaret Mauldon has produced a modern translation of this classic novel, one that perfectly captures the tone that makes Flaubert's style so distinct and admired.
Madame Bovary scandalized its readers when it was first published in 1857. And the story itself remains as fresh today as when it was first written, a work that remains unsurpassed in its unveiling of character and society. It tells the tragic story of the romantic but empty-headed Emma Rouault. When Emma marries Charles Bovary, she imagines she will pass into the life of luxury and passion that she reads about in sentimental novels and women's magazines. But Charles is an ordinary country doctor, and provincial life is very different from the romantic excitement for which she yearns. In her quest to realize her dreams she takes a lover, Rodolphe, and begins a devastating spiral into deceit and despair. And Flaubert captures every step of this catastrophe with sharp-eyed detail and a wonderfully subtle understanding of human emotions.
Malcolm Bowie, a leading authority on French literature, explores Flaubert's genius in his masterly introduction to this must-have book for all lovers of great literature.

评分于是撒旦从耶和华面前退去,击打约伯,使他从脚掌到头顶长毒疮。约伯就坐在炉灰中,拿瓦片刮身体。他的妻子对他说:“你仍然守你的纯正吗?你弃掉神死了吧!”约伯却对她说:“你说话像愚顽的妇人一样。哎!难道我们从神手里得福,不也受祸吗?”在这一切的事上,约伯并不以口...
评分福楼拜是一个很冷静的作家,读李健吾的译本,很能体会到这一点。往往短句干净利落,一点不拖沓,寥寥几笔就能够把人物和环境都刻画得入木三分——白描的功夫不简单。这种克制的笔法从表面上看,正好和爱玛·包法利的激情形成截然对比。福楼拜曾经说,他自己就是包法利。这句话...
评分读了四个《包法利夫人》的译本,有必要说一下感受与想法, 李健吾译本赫赫有名,甚至被许为难以超越的经典,但那些表示热情赞许的人,似乎更多是为李先生对福楼拜的研究所折服,而非倾倒于译作本身。这是一个语言规范尚不成熟、文体明显存在缺陷的译本,除非人们刻意认为文学品...
评分我上大学时看过《包法利夫人》,当时真是一点感觉都木有,现在偶然捡起来又看了一遍,发现名著之所以能成为名著还是有道理的——不同的人对此会有不同的解读,而同一个人在不同的阶段也会有不同的解读。 小说,只有当它内涵深刻,才经得起一再挖掘,耐看的小说才是好小说。 ...
平行时空的自己,引以为戒嗷???? @2019-07-13 08:31:26
评分It's a tragedy of conflicts between life in romance and reality. Emma died of poison at last, only to free herself from torture by reality.
评分昨天晚上读完今天早上才反应过来我为什么要读一本英文版的法国小说???? 包法利夫人干啥出轨啊,L的老师说是因为她虚荣,虽然刚开始确实先入为主以她虚荣为原因,但是读着读着慢慢能体会到这个女人心高气傲却又“空荡荡”的内心。我只觉得滑稽,豆瓣评论不少人说这是文艺女青年的样子,岂不是侮辱了文艺这俩字。文艺女青年整天捣捣电影捣捣书捣捣美食追追热点,真的没这么闲。如此言论,也不知道是侮辱了包法利夫人还是侮辱了文艺女青年。 不过读着还真觉得“感同身受”,仿佛看到平行时空的自己。 引以为戒嗷???? PS:……练科三感觉自己像个植物人,头疼!
评分25% 放弃,还啃不动
评分直到看到最后一章,我渐渐心里在想:包法利夫人要是活过来该多好
