Reading Madame Bovary | Alexandria
Read Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Exposing desire's dark undertow, Madame Bovary shatters romantic illusions by revealing how fantasy can poison reality. Flaubert's masterwork isn't just about adultery—it's a prescient warning about how imagined lives eclipse our real ones, eerily foreshadowing our social media age where curated dreams breed constant dissatisfaction.
