Book excerpt: Una inteligente y original novela gráfica inspirada en la célebre Madame Bovary de Gustave Flaubert de la mano de la siempre acertada Posy Simmonds. La hermosa y aburrida Gemma es la segunda esposa de Charlie Bovery, además de obligada madrastra de sus hijos y enemiga jurada de su exmujer. Harta de la vida en Londres, convence a su marido para mudarse a un pueblecito de la idílica Normandía, pero los encantos de la vida rural pronto empiezan a desvanecerse. Al igual que la madame Bovary de Flaubert, Gemma es apática, adúltera, derrochadora y está abocada a un destino funesto, detalles que conoceremos a medida que su vecino, el panadero intelectual Joubert, se entrega al voyeurismo leyendo los diarios íntimos de su vecina... difunta. La crítica ha dicho... «Un tour de force narrativo.» Roger Sabin, The Observer «Retorcidamente divertido [...] Un libro tan divertido que da pena terminarlo.» Daily Mail «Hilarante [...]. Gemma Bovery saca ventaja de la capacidad de Posy Simmonds para escudriñar, en palabras e imágenes, el absurdo de la vida cotidiana de la clase media urbanita en su país y en el extranjero.» The Times «Realmente original, inteligente y observadora [...]. La obra de un genio.» Sunday Telegraph «La gran hazaña de esta autora satírica es haber acercado los cómics a una audiencia que jamás los había leído.» Frédéric Potet, Le Monde

Download or read book Gemma Bovery written by Posy Simmonds and published by Random House. This book was released on 2000 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Posy Simmonds' extraordinary reworking of Madame Bovary as a graphic novel Gemma is the bored, pretty second wife of Charlie Bovery, the reluctant stepmother of his children and the bete-noire of his ex-wife. Gemma's sudden windfall and distaste for London take them across the Channel to Normandy, where the charms of French country living soon wear off. Is it a coincidence that Gemma Bovery has a name rather like Flaubert's notorious heroine? Is it by chance that, like Madame Bovary, Gemma is bored, adulterous, and a bad credit risk? Is she inevitably doomed? These questions consume Gemma's neighbor, the intellectual baker, Joubert. Denying voyeurism, but nevertheless noting every change in the fit of her jeans, every addition to Gemma's wardrobe, her love-bites and lovers, Joubert, with the help of the heroine's diaries, follows her path towards ruin. Adultery and its consequences. Disappointment and deception. The English in France. Fat and slim. Then and now. Many familiar ingredients of the novel are given new life in Gemma Bovery's unique graphic form. Like Posy Simmond's legendary cartoon strips featuring the Weber family, Gemma Bovery was published in weekly parts in the Guardian.

Book excerpt: " Familles recomposées, je vous hais. " Excédée par l'intrusion incessante de ses beaux-enfants et de l'ex de son mari, Charlie, Gemma Bovery décide de s'installer avec celui-ci loin de Londres, dans une fermette du bocage normand. Là, elle découvre avec émerveillement les charmes de la campagne française. Mais le " French Way of Life " a ses limites. L'ennui guette. Gemma prend un amant sous l'Oeil jaloux de Joubert, le boulanger, qui se fait le chroniqueur de sa déchéance amoureuse. Le décor, le destin, le nom de l'héroïne vous rappellent quelqu'un... c'est à dessein. Posy Simmonds donne à l'Emma Bovary de Flaubert une arrière-petite-fille en jean, baskets et lingerie fine. Personne ne sort indemne de cette satire, ni ces Anglais middle class assoiffés de grands crus et d'exotisme continental, ni cette petite bourgeoisie française aux manies insupportables. Du désir de grandeur et de ses désillusions. De l'influence des régimes amaigrissants sur la fidélité conjugale. Splendeur et ridicules du désordre amoureux. Le grand Gustave y retrouverait ses petits.

Download or read book Madame Bovary written by Gustave Flaubert and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 1982-06-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exquisite novel tells the story of one of the most compelling heroines in modern literature--Emma Bovary. "Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgement." - Henry James Unhappily married to a devoted, clumsy provincial doctor, Emma revolts against the ordinariness of her life by pursuing voluptuous dreams of ecstasy and love. But her sensuous and sentimental desires lead her only to suffering corruption and downfall. A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence. Who is Madame Bovary? Flaubert's answer to this question was superb: "Madame Bovary, c'est moi." Acclaimed as a masterpiece upon its publication in 1857, the work catapulted Flaubert to the ranks of the world's greatest novelists. This volume, with its fine translation by Lowell Bair, a perceptive introduction by Leo Bersani, and a complete supplement of essays and critical comments, is the indispensable Madame Bovary.

Book excerpt: The imaginary as a critical concept originated in the twentieth century and has been theorized in diverse ways. It can be understood as a register of thought; the way we interpret the world; the universe of images, signs, texts, and objects of thought. In this volume, it is explored as it manifests itself in encounters between the verbal and the visual. A number of the essays brought together here explore the transposition of the imaginary in illustrations of texts and verbal renditions of images, as well as in comic books based on paintings or on verbal narratives. Others analyze ways in which books deal with film or television and investigate the imaginary in digital media. Special attention is paid to the imaginary of places and the relationship of the imaginary with memory. Written in English and French, these contributions by European and American scholars demonstrate the various concerns and approaches characteristic of contemporary scholarship in word and image studies.

Download or read book Adapting Nineteenth-Century France written by Kate Griffiths and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapting Nineteenth-Century France uses the output of six canonical novelists and their recreations in a variety of media to push for a re-conceptualisation of our approach to the study of adaptation. The works of Balzac, Hugo, Flaubert, Zola, Maupassant and Verne reveal themselves not as originals to be defended from adapting hands, but fashioned from the adapted voices of a host of earlier artists, moments and media. The text analyses re-workings of key nineteenth-century texts across time and media in order to underline the way in which such re-workings cast new light on many of their source texts and reveal the probing analysis nineteenth-century novelists undertake in relation to notions of originality and authorial borrowing. Moreover, Adapting Nineteeth-Century France traces their subsequent recreations in a comparable range of genres, encompassing key modern media of the twentieth- and twenty-first-centuries: radio, silent film, fiction, musical theatre, sound film and television.

Download or read book Madame Bovary at the Movies written by Mary Donaldson-Evans and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some eighteen film directors from France to the United States, Germany to India, have applied themselves to the task of adapting Madame Bovary to the screen. Why has Flaubert’s 1857 classic novel been so popular with filmmakers? What challenges have they had to meet? What ideologies do their adaptations serve? Madame Bovary at the Movies seeks to answer these questions, avoiding value judgments based on the notion of fidelity to the novel. In-depth analyses are reserved for the studio films of Renoir, Minnelli and Chabrol and the small-screen adaptation of Fywell. As the first book-length examination of the Madame Bovary adaptations, this volume, in addition to its pedagogical applications, will be a useful reference for scholars of literature and film and for those interested in the burgeoning field of adaptation studies.

Download or read book The Narratology of Comic Art written by Kai Mikkonen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By placing comics in a lively dialogue with contemporary narrative theory, The Narratology of Comic Art builds a systematic theory of narrative comics, going beyond the typical focus on the Anglophone tradition. This involves not just the exploration of those properties in comics that can be meaningfully investigated with existing narrative theory, but an interpretive study of the potential in narratological concepts and analytical procedures that has hitherto been overlooked. This research monograph is, then, not an application of narratology in the medium and art of comics, but a revision of narratological concepts and approaches through the study of narrative comics. Thus, while narratology is brought to bear on comics, equally comics are brought to bear on narratology.

Book excerpt: ***WINNER OF THE COMEDY WOMEN IN PRINT PRIZE 2020*** 'Simmonds is a copper-bottomed genius... she is as brilliant a writer as Britain has' Jenny Colgan, Mail Online Cassandra Darke is an art dealer, mean, selfish, solitary by nature, living in Chelsea in a house worth £7 million. She has become a social pariah, but doesn't much care. Between one Christmas and the next, she has sullied the reputation of a West End gallery and has acquired a conviction for fraud, a suspended sentence and a bank balance drained by lawsuits. On the scale of villainy, fraud seems to Cassandra a rather paltry offence - her own crime involving 'no violence, no weapon, no dead body'. But in Cassandra's basement, her young ex-lodger, Nicki, has left a surprise, something which implies at least violence and probably a body . . . Something which forces Cassandra out of her rich enclave and onto the streets. Not those local streets paved with gold and lit with festive glitter, but grimmer, darker places, where she must make the choice between self-sacrifice and running for her life.
