TheBookchemist | Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert REVIEW @TheBookchemist | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
[Apparently I forgot to edit out a few bits from the final video before uploading it - it's all fixed now though! Thanks Paolo for flagging this and apologies to anyone who had to watch me cough like an old man and stare at my notes in confusion :P]
The Italian book I mention in the video is I Malavoglia (The House by the Medlar Tree) by Giovanni Verga. It's the best!
I read Madame Bovary in Italian, on the assumption that it would be closer to the original French - so I cannot really advise on what English translation you should choose. The following affiliate links will lead to Penguin Classics editions, just because I've rarely been disappointed with those.
US readers, buy the book on IndieBound and support independent bookshops!
