Flaubert, Gustave & Russell, Alan [translator] — Madame Bovary

Penguin 1965 reprint. Paperback, VG. 361pp, spine a little creased, page margins tanned. Claude Monet cover. Priced by the publisher at $1.25. Penguin L15. Flaubert's 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.
