Krásna Emma Bovaryová sníva o veľkej láske, o vzrušujúcich zážitkoch, pritom však vedie otupný život, nudné manželstvo s vidieckym lekárom ju čoraz väčšmi roztrpčuje. Emma sa usiluje vymaniť zo všednosti a uniknúť do sveta snov a ľúbostných dobrodružstiev. No jej snahy o hlboké citové putá a nevšedné zážitky zlyhajú, ich následky sú katastrofálne. Román Pani Bovaryová sa radí nielen medzi najznámejšie diela Gustava Flauberta, ale aj svetovej literatúry 19. storočia. Emma Bovaryová sa stala prototypom rojčivej a nepraktickej ženy. Román vzbudil v čase svojho vydania (1857) veľkú pozornosť, vyvolal početné vášnivé reakcie a mnoho čitateľov aj pobúril, najmä preto, lebo románové postavy neboli štylizované, ale autor ich opísal realisticky. Na motívy knihy vzniklo viacero divadelných, televíznych, rozhlasových aj operných adaptácií. Komu sa kniha môže páčiť: Čitateľom kvalitnej literatúry a milovníkom zaujímavých príbehov.
