Publisher's summary

Issue de la bourgeoisie, Emma Bovary est élevée dans un couvent, où elle fera son "éducation sentimentale" en lisant les œuvres romantiques à la mode. Son mari, Charles Bovary, ne ressemble en rien aux amants mystérieux et délicats de ses lectures : c'est un officier de santé qui exerce dans un village normand où Emma, confrontée à la réalité de la vie quotidienne, va peu à peu perdre pied.

L'interprétation magistrale d'Alain Lawrence magnifie cette œuvre intemporelle.

Excellent book

As a French native, I found the performance outstanding. The reader can pass all the emotions of the book through his voice acting. Great job!

As for the book, it is a classic of French litterature. About boredom and dissatisfaction. Madame Bovary's character feels incredibly real.

Madame Bovary {French Version}

Excellent pronunciation; very clear and pleasant to hear. I already knew the story and I bought the audio book to keep up with the French Language, which is my second out my three languages. .

Superbe interprétation.

Cette excellente narration rend justice à l'infini realisme que ce texte apporte. Il est ainsi facile de laisser transporter dans la vie des habitants de Yonville, et d'observer les troubles d' Emma bovary à travers ses escapades sinueuses.

La lujuria no es nada bueno.

No es correcto engañar a un hombre de esa manera. Flaubert utiliza un lenguaje muy cuidado. Me agradó mucho. El desenlace es muy terrible. La narración es estupenda.
