A Wonderfully New Old Emma

Flaubert's classic (1857) of mid-19th century provincial France is worth reading any time, and re-reading often. What is worth noting here is that this is a new and wonderful translation by Adam Thorpe. Flaubert is not easy to translate, and the richness of his prose is a great part of the novel's charm as well as its tension in showing through a tragic and beautiful character rural France being pulled into the modern world. Emma Bovary has never been more pathetic, or empathetic, or beautiful. Thorpe's short introduction is worth the price by itself.

A very sad but well told story

I'd give this 4 1/2 stars, but can't figure out how to do a half. Poor Emma - she's not a bad person, just immature and a dreamer, but bad things result. Very well formatted Kindle book.

Magnificent

Our follies, our vanities, pitilessly but beautifully dissected in this masterpiece of middle-class rural longing. Barbed, sensual, biting, funny-I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Tried other translations and this was wonderfull. A great book. Rivals Dostoyevsky in the depth of feeling and the realism. And funny to boot

Good book, poor printing!

Book speaks for itself, but in this edition every other page looked like they needed to replace the toner! Returned copy was the same.
