The eponymous Emma is a victim of the smug, self-deluding French bourgeoisie that Flaubert despised. Trapped in a marriage to a second-rate provincial doctor, she escapes the suffocating confines of her existence by immersing herself in sentimental novels. Her idealization of beauty, romance and high society lead her into an affair with a philandering neighbor. When this ends, she is quickly drawn into a liaison that has far more dangerous consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis \u003cb\u003ehandsome pocket-sized gift edition \u003c\/b\u003ehas real collector's appeal; featuring the classic; unabridged text; a\u003cb\u003e facsimile of Flaubert's signature\u003c\/b\u003e on the title page; \u003cb\u003egold\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003egilded page edges \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003ebeautifully designed endpapers\u003c\/b\u003e.
