{"product_id":"madame-bovary-part-ii-gustave-flaubert-9789369426454","title":"Madame Bovary Part II","description":"Madame Bovary Part II delves into the disconnect between idealized dreams and the stark reality of life. The protagonist, yearning for excitement and fulfillment, escapes into romantic fantasies, believing that love and adventure will bring meaning to her life. This search for passion and escape from the mundane leads to poor decisions, superficial relationships, and eventual self-destruction. The narrative explores how seeking happiness through external pleasures whether through affairs or material desires leads to emptiness and disappointment. It highlights the consequences of avoiding personal growth and self-reflection, as well as the dangers of living in pursuit of illusionary ideals. Flaubert portrays the limitations of relying on external validation and romanticized notions to find meaning, emphasizing the need for inner understanding and awareness. Ultimately, the story reflects on the tension between the fantasies we create and the harsh realities we must face, with tragic consequences for those who cannot reconcile the two. Through this lens, the novel critiques societal expectations and the pursuit of superficial fulfillment at the expense of deeper, more meaningful connections with oneself and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gustave Flaubert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9369426450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789369426454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Double 9 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.33d","brand":"Gustave Flaubert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446654677247,"sku":"9789369426454","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11ca165e-4960-4e43-a0c8-806dba1d0103.jpg?v=1777226063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/madame-bovary-part-ii-gustave-flaubert-9789369426454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
