Flaubert was notoriously perfectionist about his writing and claimed to always be searching for le mot juste (the right word)". Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Published in book form in April 1857, the novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Translated by Eleanor Marx Aveling (1855 - 1898)
