Everything about MADAME BOVARY

 LET'S TALK ABOUT MADME BOVARY


I have to admit that I didn't read that novel because it was on my shelf, but rather because my 8th-grade teacher made us read it. And I must say, I quite liked it, to be honest. I personally loved the way the life of Emma Bovary was deeply analyzed and depicted. It was really interesting to read about her life, which is probably comparable to that of many middle-class French women of the 19th century. The long descriptions are particular yet impressive, and that is one of the strengths of "Madame Bovary".




A LITTLE CONTEXT ABOUT "MADAME BOVARY"



"Madame Bovary" was written in 1857 by Gustave Flaubert, a French novelist. It was first published as a serial serialized novel, but after a few installments, the printer decided to stop printing it because he considered the book immoral, particularly regarding religious matters. Flaubert was even sued because of the message it conveyed and the society it depicted.




WHAT TO READ IF YOU LIKED "MADAME BOVARY"


If you actually liked reading "Madame Bovary," I recommend you read "Thérèse Raquin," a novel by Émile Zola, who is, in my opinion, one of the greatest French novelists of the 19th century. I would also recommend another of his novels: "Nana." Both of these books, like "Madame Bovary," are classics about femme fatales or morbid stories that denounce high society and its vices, which is really enjoyable.

  LET'S TALK ABOUT LES CAHIERS DE DOUAI I'm not a big fan of poems and poetry, but I had to read Les Cahiers de Douai for school this year. I have to admit that I quite enjoyed it. What I loved the most about it was the story around this collection. Did you know Arthur Rimbaud was only 17 when he wrote it, and it is a pure masterpiece? He also wrote it during two runaways to Belgium (he was French). I loved how, as a teenager, he denounced social issues. A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ABOUT LES CAHIERS DE DOUAI As I mentioned, Arthur Rimbaud wrote Les Cahiers de Douai when he was 17 years old, in 1870, during a time when France was at war with Prussia. Life wasn't easy, and people couldn't express themselves freely. Napoleon III, an emperor, was ruling the country with an iron fist. The collection is composed of 22 poems in 2 books. It is still taught in schools in France today. WHAT TO READ IF YOU LIKED LES CAHIERS DE DOUAI As I said before, I am not a big fan of poetry, so...
