" What I think beautiful, I want to do, is a book about nothing, a book without references to the outside capable of keeping himself under the internal strength of his style " writes
Flaubert in a letter while working on Madame Bovary . Most probably he is not speaking specifically of this novel, but the same is here that we find his poetry, which focuses all his efforts as a writer: "I have a song transition of 8 lines that took me 3 days in which there is one word too many, and which is nevertheless necessary to redo! Again, why is too slow. "
Maniac of form, language freak, freak of research (which consulted hundreds and hundreds of books, to build his novels, just think of the superhuman work for Salammbo), Flaubert is an author, like all great, you do read today, that can not be summarized in a category, like all great, and that, like all great, inspired every field of life and art after him.
And Madame Bovary is the symbol of extreme quest'immortalità.
dissatisfied, unable to feel calm, eternally unhappy, a prisoner of social convention, regularly afflicted, seems to be the stereotypical romantic heroine. And, indeed, that's how we see the collective imagination.
But Emma Bovary, in reality, Flaubert is so soul and a person is not free, but also a neurotic, in the clinical sense of the term, selfish, sick of "existential anxiety caused by the gap between the actual living conditions and their aspirations "[cit. Sabatini Coletti], that is what came to be called Cattle Dogs!
is a person who does not know how to live, which blames the pettiness which surrounds but is incapable of not hitting herself, and so often dull and by dropping his arms, as they say. And I do not speak much of his extramarital scappattele, because of the reckless actions that will lead to economic ruin her family.
is a conceited woman, chasing an ideal that great love, comes across a man who just wants to have fun and cheat, in another which, although sincere, can never meet its absurdity by feuilleton. And if you get tired.
And the only man who truly loves her unconditionally, is the husband that she can not stand, that poor country doctor, unable to help, meaningless and, at times gross, which, however, has in itself that one size Emma earnestly seek to find elsewhere.
I read this book "Old", even though he was since high school that had haunted me of the song death of Emma read in French: raw and hopeless and beautiful.
