Reader's note

A beautifully patterned edition of one of the world's greatest novels! Madame Bovary has managed to stand the test of time, and has been adapted into many different forms of media throughout the years since the initial publication in 1856. Read on as Charles meets his second wife (the titular character) for the first time - As she was a long time before she found her work-case, her father grew impatient; she did not answer, but as she sewed she pricked her fingers, which she then put to her mouth to suck them. Charles was surprised at the whiteness of her nails. They were shiny, delicate at the tips, more polished than the ivory of Dieppe, and almond-shaped. Yet her hand was not beautiful, perhaps not white enough, and a little hard at the knuckles; besides, it was too long, with no soft inflections in the outlines. Her real beauty was in her eyes. Although brown, they seemed black because of the lashes, and her look came at you frankly, with a candid boldness. - find out just how much trouble this woman will cause! A truly great novel to add to any collection!
