内容简介

《包法利夫人》是法国作家福楼拜创作的长篇小说。

作品讲述的是一个受过贵族化教育的农家女爱玛的故事。她瞧不起当乡镇医生的丈夫包法利，梦想着传奇式的爱情。可是她的两度偷情非但没有给她带来幸福，却使她自己成为高利贷者盘剥的对象。最后她积债如山，走投无路，只好服毒自尽。

这里写的是一个无论在生活里还是在文学作品中都很常见的桃色事件，但是作者的笔触感知到的是旁人尚未涉及的敏感区域。爱玛的死不仅仅是她自身的悲剧，更是那个时代的悲剧。作者用细腻的笔触描写了主人公情感堕落的过程，作者努力地找寻着造成这种悲剧的社会根源。

Margaret Cohen's careful editorial revision modernizes and renews Flaubert's stylistic masterpiece. In addition, Cohen has added to the Second Edition a new introduction, substantially new annotations, and twenty-one striking images, including photographs and engravings, that inform students' understanding of middle-class life in nineteenth-century provincial France. In Madame Bovary, Flaubert created a cogent counter discourse that exposed and resisted the dominant intellectual and social ideologies of his age. The novel's subversion of conventional moral norms inevitably created controversy and eventually led to Flaubert's prosecution by the French government on charges of offending "public and religious morality." This Norton edition is the only one available that includes the complete manuscript from Flaubert's 1857 trial. "Criticism" includes sixteen studies regarding the novel's central themes, twelve of them new to the Second Edition, including essays by Charles Baudelaire, Henry James, Roland Barthes, Jonathan Culler, and Naomi Schor. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

作者简介

居斯塔夫·福楼拜（Gustave Flaubert，1821－1880），法国作家。生于法国西北部鲁昂城一个世代行医的家庭。父亲是鲁昂市立医院院长兼外科主任。他的童年是在父亲的医院里度过的。因此，他以后的文学创作明显带有医生的细致观察与剖析的痕迹。福楼拜从中学时代起就开始尝试文学创作。1841年他就读于巴黎法学院，22岁时因被怀疑患癫痫病而辍学，此后他一直住在鲁昂，专心从事创作，终生未婚。《包法利夫人》是福楼拜用了将近5年的时间于 1857年完成的。这部作品开创了文学史上的一个新纪元，也成为他的代表作。随后他又创作了《萨朗宝》（1862）、《情感教育》（1869）和《三故事》（1877）。

Gustave Flaubert (1821-80) is considered to be one of the most important French novelists of the nineteenth century. He's most well known for his novel Madame Bovary, and for his desire to write "a book about nothing," a novel in which all external elements, especially the presence of the author, have been eliminated, leaving nothing but style itself. Often considered a member of the naturalist school, Flaubert despised categorizations of this sort, and in novels like Bouvard and Pecuchet demonstrates the inaptness of this label. In addition to these two novels, he is also the author of A Sentimental Education, Salambo, Three Tales, and The Temptation of Saint Anthony. Margaret Cohen is Professor in the Department of French and Italian at Stanford University. Her publications include The Sentimental Education of the Novel and Profane Illumination: Walter Benjamin and the Paris of Surrealist Revolution, as well as the co-edited collections Spectacles of Realism-Body, Gender, Genre and The Literary Channel: The Inter-national Inventions of the Novel. She has also translated and edited Sophie Cottin's Claire d'Albe (1799).
