Gustave Flaubert

Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880) was a French novelist who was best known for exploring realism in his work. Hailing from an upper-class family, Flaubert was exposed to literature at an early age. He received a formal education at Lycée Pierre-Corneille, before venturing to Paris to study law. A serious illness forced him to change his career path, reigniting his passion for writing. He completed his first novella, November, in 1842, launching a decade-spanning career. His most notable work, Madame Bovary was published in 1856 and is considered a literary masterpiece.

Some narrators were not clearly understood, sound quality generally was poor

[Anne Lerner-Wright · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Terrible audio quality. New narrators energy couple of chapters and some of them are okay, some are terrible.

[Katja · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The book is incredibly boring. The audiobook has been recorded by several people which results in great differences in quality.
