Madame Bovary
Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers
Gustave Flaubert
(4,039 Sterne; 219 Bewertungen)
Published in book form in April 1857, the novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was notoriously perfectionist about his writing and claimed to always be searching for le mot juste (the right word)". (Summary from Wikipedia). (0 hr 59 min)

I have listened to many Librivox books, and by far, Elizabeth Clette is the best reader.

Chapter II, Part 9 is almost incomprehensible, otherwise great classic literature read in good manner.

i recommend Anna Karenina or the Idiot. They have a similar idea about woman who maybe doesn't think she did the right things in live. This stykle is so bad the caracters and plot suffer to the over description of every small thibg.

There are three outstanding readers of the text. The one chapter that was read by a female was barely decipherable. She tried to “act” the parts but would have been better to learn proper pronunciation of words and cadence of speech. There were many loud noises taking over her microphone and I had to slow the speed down so I could attempt to understand the words.

Every sentence, every word of this novel is like a brush stroke of a fine painting. It's such a wrought work of art, that it is a wonder to behold. It is rightfully acclaimed as a masterpiece and a beckon to other writers that followed. It is also very emotional and moving. I found the readers to be fine, and by adjusting the speed, was able to quite enjoy their efforts.

Interesting, intriguing, and enjoyable. Like the style of writer. Learned about society, people, and life of the period. Then read writer's biography, even more interesting. Now want to read Madam Bovary in a physical book so as to appreciate and understand his word choices, sentence structure, and path toward progressing the story as well as to see the way of portraying suspense, joy, anguish, and other emotions.
