Gustave Flaubert - Madame Bovary

Once upon a time, there was sensuality and disillusionment… If there's one tragedy we can blame on literature, it's that of Madame Bovary. A girl-woman deluded by the novels she devoured, she fights for her dream and happiness, breaking all the social conventions of her time.
