MADAME BOVARY: TV Miniseries -- 2003

[Choisya]

Thanks P, I like that, particularly the first sentence.  Mary Wollstonecraft and my Suffragette grandmother would have agreed.

 Here is the Erica Jong comment:

"Emma Bovary is deluded by literature. Because she is in search of ecstasy and transcendence, she falls madly in love with a cad, then with a coward, ignoring the plodding husband and child who both adore her. She is looking for a higher, more spiritual life than the one available to her as the wife of a bourgeois country doctor, and in this quest she finds only self-destruction."
Salon - Erica Jong (09/15/1997)

I was able to access the comments from the link you provided but was unable to find the link describing the condition of the volume.  I am interested in learning more about Marx-Aveling as the translator.  I mentioned in the thread for week 1 that my version was translated by Lowell Blair in 1959.  Thanks.

I'll take a new couch or custom drapes or a down payment on replacement siding instead.

The Eric Jong and other comments have disappeared, but there is a link to a page describing the fine condition of this volume, including an interesting tidbit on Aveling, the translator:

"This edition is of course highly desirable, being the first English edition. This variant has the ads for Salambo at the front. The translation is also of importance, being the first Marx-Aveling translation...Eleanor Marx-Aveling of course being the daughter of Karl Marx."

$6,000 at eBAY... a bit rich for my blood. But it looks lovely. I have a bit of Emma in me, I can imagine it on my shelves.

Maybe this one?

This entry has an interesting set of comments by a number of leading authors.  (I resonate with Eric Jong on this one.)

Condition of the rare edition cited.

LMF -- try this link for the condition of the book.  (Sometimes I feel as if things magically appear and disappear from ebay pages.)

I have created a new thread as a suggested place for us to discuss what are probably many translations of Madame Bovary.

Dulcinea -- does this rose have a name or source that you know?  

Thx for the info on how to incorporate into one's post.

Dulcinea, what a splendid splendid rose. I absolutely must have it for my garden.

I have a call in to the garden center where I shop. 

(How did you get the photo into your post?)

 But I like the ones you both posted, too!  The Madame Bovary rose is an especially delicious shade!

Sorry, Pepper, I really don't know.  I can't find any info where I found the photo.  I had googled 'yellow rose with pink edges', or something like that, trying to find the same kind of rose I have on my bookmark, and that looked the closest.

Dulcinea -- it is truly lovely.  Thank you for sharing.

OFF-TOPIC

This thread's about MB and other media, but I wanted to let you know that I'll have to check on the pictures thing.  I wasn't aware that either members or mods were allowed to post pics.  I'm sensitive about copyright, and images are definitely part of that, unless you wish to post photos you've taken yourself.

So, I'll ask about this for us...
