Review: The wonderfully complex and neurotic personality of Madame Bovary shines through ... - The wonderfully complex and neurotic personality of Madame Bovary shines through in this brilliant English translation, which captures the French nuance and idiom, in this side by side translation on each page. The French original work by Flaubert is choreographed next to the inspired English work written in 19th Century Paris, by the daughter of the socialist intellectual Karl Marx, famous for his work Capital, Marx lived in London and is buried in Highgate with an impressive monument. In Madame Bovary the melancholic mood of the French countryside rings true of Provence, and the eloquent milieu of the novels sophisticated plot is eloquently interpreted, with patience, care and attention to detail. An historically alluring work of great genius, which can be compared to Tolstoy. And a side by side translation makes charming reading. Entering the mind of Flaubert is this dual language book, is an enlightening experience which will inspire the reader with intellectual curiosity about the amazing literature of France. And easily lead into other great writers works, such as Victor Hugo, Montaigne, Alexandre Dumas, Blaize Pascal, etc. This parallel book will assure the reader with confidence and fluency in reading, construing, and interpreting French. Like any great written work, there are many interpretations, and the English translation is a good choice, because it is the most intellectually liberal, and shows the well read familiarity with world of great literature, and French philosophy of the translator. The production of the book, embodies energy and passion, and brings an innovative form of new book with feng shui, to the market displaying its strengths. One experiences the genius and genuine passion of the book and its author, by reading its narrative in this easy format.. Easy peasy, its a doddle to read. This is enough to inspire one to study the Russian novel, and its extraordinary rise. Considering the imaginative grasp of French one can gather from such a new format as this. One gains reading strategies, and self learning strategies, intuitively, which genuinely empowers the reader to scale the heights of any meaningful reading material.
Review: French/English Classic - Well presented, an easy book to read having the French and corresponding English translation on opposite pages.I would recommend this publication to anyone learning French.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ French/English Classic
*by N***A on 25 January 2013*

Well presented, an easy book to read having the French and corresponding English translation on opposite pages.I would recommend this publication to anyone learning French.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy but not the most up to date
*by K***R on 8 November 2015*

This is a hefty paperback with nice large print and the French and English versions of Madame Bovary line up well on opposing pages. However, this translation by Eleanor Marx (daughter of Karl Marx) shows its age. It's simple, literal, and sometimes inaccurate. So in one sense it's good for beginners, in another sense not. More modern English translations will bring out the nuances in this work. My favourite version is by Christopher Moncrieff, which I can't imagine being bettered for a generation. The ease of being able to compare both languages side by side is certainly a winner, though. I think this would be an ideal book to start with, then transfer to a more sophisticated version. That way, you get the best of both worlds. But you'll learn a lot with this one alone, and at £12 for 568 spacious pages it's good value.
