Along with Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina," Flaubert's tragic novel stands as an ultimate portrayal of infidelity. Inciting a backlash of immorality charges, the novel was nevertheless an overwhelming success. Today it retains the power to generate empathy and compassion for its realistically drawn characters and admiration for Flaubert's controlled yet evocative style.
