WDR 5 Madame Bovary Hörbuch WDR 5 Ein Klassiker der Weltliteratur, von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite: "Madame Bovary" von Gustave Flaubert, gelesen von Michael Müller. Emma Bovary will in der französischen Provinz des 19. Jahrhunderts immer noch mehr vom Leben: mehr Liebe, mehr Luxus, mehr Sex. Madame Bovary (Version 2) by Gustave Flaubert Loyal Books Written over a century and a half ago, Madame Bovary is still an extraordinarily fresh, exciting and shockingly frank novel, at once an acute psychological study of a woman drawn into adultery through circumstances we can partly understand, and a sharply-observed comedy that offers a fascinating glimpse of the social and cultural divisions running through French provincial society in the mid nineteenth century. This translation is by Eleanor Marx-Aveling, a prominent social activist and literary translator. She was the youngest daughter of Karl Marx.
