Flauberts Schule der Empfindsamkeit (L'Éducation sentimentale, übersetzt: Die Erziehung der Gefühle) beschreibt den jungen Frédéric Moreau, der nach Paris zieht, um sein Glück zu machen. Hier begegnet er Madame Arnoux, in die er sich unsterblich verliebt. Diese Verliebtheit zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch die gesamte Geschichte. Die Liebe wird erst sehr spät erwidert. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt fühlt sich Frédéric als Madame Arnoux' rechtmäßiger Ehemann.

Nel 1840 Frédéric Moreau, giovane baccelliere, sogna intense passioni e grandi successi artistici. Turbato dal fascino di Mme Arnoux, stabilitosi a Parigi, cerca di rivederla. Nel frattempo frequenta giovani ambiziosi tra i quali Deslauriers che aspira al potere politico. Frédéric non riesce però a imporsi in nessun settore e la sua vita oscilla tra facili amori, il gran mondo e l'amore che prova, nonostante tutto per Mme Arnoux. Col passare degli anni tutti i sogni si infrangono e resta solo la sensazione del fallimento.

Men när Charles en dag åker ut till en godsägare för att hjälpa honom med ett brutet ben, träffar han dennes dotter Emma.

Le jeune homme, timide, contemple de loin cette Maria, dont il s'efforce de deviner d'abord les formes du corps sous sa robe.

Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. Madame Bovary narra la oscura tragedia de Emma Bovary, mujer infelizmente casada, cuyos sueños choca cruelmente con la realidad. Al hechizo que ejerce la figura de la protagonista hay que añadir la sabia combinación argumental de rebeldía, violencia, melodrama y sexo, «los cuatro grandes ríos», como afirmó en su día Mario Vargas Llosa, que alimentan esta historia inigualable. La publicación de esta obra en 1857 fue recibida con gran polémica y se procesó a Flaubert por atentar contra la moral.
