Madame Bovary Gustave Flaubert 1st English Edition
Gustave Flaubert (UK: /ˈfloʊbɛər/ FLOH-bair, US: /floʊˈbɛər/ floh-BAIR, French: [ɡystav flobɛʁ]; 12 December 1821 – 8 May 1880) was a French novelist. Highly influential, he has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, “in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality”. He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert. On the occasion of Flaubert’s 198th birthday (12 December 2019), a group of researchers at CNRS published a neural language model under his name.
The first English edition of “Madame Bovary” by Gustave Flaubert, considered a masterpiece as the first modern and “perfect” novel. London: Vizetelly & Co., 1886, translated by Eleanor Marx-Aveling, daughter of Karl Marx, who brought the novel to the United Kingdom almost 30 years after its publication in France, theretofore shunned for its perception of immorality. Novel runs 383pp., complete with frontispiece and all four illustrations, and two pages of publisher’s advertisements in front. Beautifully rebound in forest green half-morocco, with marbled endpapers, ripped spine and gilt titling. Measures 5.25″ x 7.5″. Previous owner’s inscription to flyleaf, and light shelf wear, overall very good condition. Sold for $765.
