美丽而乏味的爱玛·包法利(Emma Bovary)被困在与一个平庸的医生的婚姻中，因平庸的乡愁生活所压抑。她是多愁善感小说的忠实读者，她渴望激情，并在对高浪漫的幻想中寻求逃避，在贪婪的消费中寻求逃避，最终在通奸中寻求逃避。但即使是她的婚外情也会给她带来失望，其后果是毁灭性的。

福楼拜对爱玛·包法利的描写充满情色和心理上的敏锐，在1857年出版时引起了道德上的强烈抗议。它被认为是如此逼真，以至于许多女性声称她们是他笔下女主人公的原型;但是福楼拜坚持说:“包法利夫人，是我。”

Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating.

Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: 'Madame Bovary, c'est moi'.

古斯塔夫·福楼拜1821年出生于鲁昂。疾病中断了他的法律生涯后，他退休了，与寡居的母亲住在一起，并致力于写作。他伟大的作品有《包法利夫人》(1857年)、《感伤教育》(1857年)和《布瓦尔担》(1881年)。他在自己的一生中取得了有限的成功，但他的名声和声誉在1880年去世后稳步增长。
