'She wanted to die, and she wanted to live in Paris.' This is the
story of Emma, trapped in a disappointing marriage with a dull
country doctor, she dreams for a life more like the sentimental
novels she reads. In an attempt to break from the drab reality of
her provincial life in Normandy, Emma takes a lover, and disaster
soon follows. Greedy, delusional and selfish, the character of Emma
Bovary scandalised readers from the novel's first publication in
1857, yet her magnetism is undeniable. A landmark work in modern
realism, Madame Bovary vibrates with the inner life of a woman
hungry for more. Meet ten of literature's most iconic heroines,
jacketed in bold portraits by female photographers from around the
world.
