Madame Bobary

Resumen del libro

But when her debts are called in, Emma must face reality and the consequences are tragic. Chiltern are publishers of exquisitely crafted editions of the world's finest classic literature. These beautiful books are a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques.
