The first 10 books have been adapted into English while numbers 11-13 are still awaiting translation.

Thoroughly original in its conception and its language, Madame Bovary still rests on the ancient formula of sin and retribution and so moves steadily toward a decisive end: the suicide of Emma and the ruin of her family. The reasons for this preference may seem cogent, at least to the average reader of novels. The Sentimental Education was first published in the Paris of 1869, thirteen years after the triumphant appearance there of Madame Bovary and the later novel has remained ever since in the long long shadow of the earlier one, waiting for full recognition. ![]() ![]() ![]() *As an Amazon Associate, I earn on qualifying purchases.
