¿After his beautiful translation of Baudelaire¿s Paris Spleen, Raymond N. MacKenzie now offers us a fresh, superb version of Madame Bovary by Flaubert. Impeccably transparent, this new translation captures the original¿s careful, precise language and admirably conveys the small-mindedness of nineteenth-century provincial French towns. MacKenzie¿s tour de force transports the reader to Yonville and compels him to look at Emma with Flaubert¿s calm, disenchanted eyes.¿ ¿Thomas Pavel, Gordon J. Laing Distinguished Service Professor, University of Chicago In his Introduction, MacKenzie discusses Flaubert¿s life, the writing of Madame Bovary, the world in which the novel is set, and its publication and reception. Footnotes, a bibliography, and a chronology are also provided.
