Title: Madame Bovary - Life In A Country Town
Description: Hamish Hamilton - The Novel Library, 1948, 1st thus. Cloth spined patterned boards, dj, VG/VG. x+426pp, spine of the dustjacket a little yellowed & chipped at the head & tail, otherwise a nice copy. Novel Library volume 23. Hardback with dustjacket. ¶ Uncommon & charming edition of Flaubert's classic novel, his first published work & one for which he was prosecuted. His seemingly naturalistic style was acheived by rigid perfectionism & his belief in 'Art for Arts Sake'. A landmark in the development of the modern novel.
