Flaubert, Gustave & Marx Aveling, Eleanor [translator] — Madame Bovary

Jonathan Cape 1936 3rd impression thus. Cloth, VG. 320pp, cloth a little faded & marked, bookplate, a good copy. Florin Books vol 29. Flauberts first published work & one for which he was prosecuted. His seemingly naturalistic style was acheived by rigid perfectionism & his belief in 'Art for Arts Sake'. A landmark in the development of the modern novel. Translated from the 'Definitive' French edition.
