Seis años de su vida, los últimos dedicó Flaubert a la consideración y a la ejecución de este libro, que al fin quedó inconcluso, y que Gosse, tan devoto de Madame Bovary, juzgaría una aberración, y Remy de Gourmont, la obra capital de la literatura francesa, y casi de la literatura.

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) está considerado como uno de los más grandes novelistas de todos los tiempos. Figura puente entre el romanticismo y el realismo, dio una estructura definitiva a la novela, genero todavia vacilante y ambiguo, elevandola a la categoria de los generos clasicos. Madame Bovary es, sin lugar a dudas, una de las novelas mas importantes de la literatura universal. Su publicacion en 1856 suscito un proceso por ofensa a la moral publica y a la religion, del que Flaubert salio absuelto. Favorecida por el escandalo, la novela inicio a partir de ahi su camino a la gloria, que el paso del tiempo no hace sino acrecentar. German Palacios (Preparador).
