![]() ![]() ![]() The novel was attacked for obscenity by public prosecutors when it was first serialized in La Revue de Paris between Octoand December 15, 1856, resulting in a trial in January 1857 that made the story notorious. Flaubert was notoriously a perfectionist about his writing and claimed always to 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. The story 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. Madame Bovary (1856) is Gustave Flaubert’s first published novel and is considered his masterpiece.
