Marriage, however, fails to live up to her expectations, which are fueled by sentimental novels, and she turns disastrously to love affairs. The story of Emma's adultery scandalized France when \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e was first published. Today, the heartbreaking story of Emma's financial ruin remains just as compelling. Translator Adam Thorpe, an accomplished author in his own right, pays careful attention to the \"complex music\" of Flaubert's language, with its elegant, finely wrought sentences and closely observed detail. This exquisite Modern Library edition is sure to set a new standard for an enduring classic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for Adam Thorpe's translation of \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"What leaves me reeling with each rereading (and Adam Thorpe's new translation is, pardon the pun, to die for) is the use of language. There can be no doubt as to the reason for Flaubert's brain popping at the top of the stairs when he was fifty-eight. He broke it scouring for perfect sentences, words, le mot juste.\"--Russell Kane, \u003ci\u003eThe Independent\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Flaubert described his great work as a poem, so it is fitting that a poet and novelist of Thorpe's stature should turn his hand to it.\"--Robin Robertson, \u003ci\u003eThe Herald\u003c\/i\u003e (Scotland)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Thorpe\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Paris in 1956.
