Flaubert's most famous short work meditates on the unexamined, futile life of a servant and her beloved parrot.

Complex psychological portrait of one woman's relentless search for the rapture of being alive. Emma Bovary, one of literature's first modern heroines, seeks escape in disastrous affairs. Flaubert, who brought watchmaker-like craftsmanship to writing, spent five years on this masterpiece.
