Bovari Fujin / Original Title: MADAME BOVARY (Shincho Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The beautiful Emma, who read romance novels as a daughter, was tired of her dull honeymoon with Charles, a country doctor. She eventually steals her husband's attention and becomes involved in an affair with Rodolphe, a handsome man, and Leon, a young scribe, and commits suicide by poisoning, leaving behind a huge debt. This is the definitive Japanese translation of the classic modern French novel, which sublimated a commonplace local adultery case into an art form, and reproduces the thoroughly polished original text in its original breathtaking style.
