The eponymous character lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. When the novel was first serialized in "La Revue de Paris" between 1 October 1856 and 15 December 1856, public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. After Flaubert's acquittal on 7 February 1857, "Madame Bovary" became a bestseller in April 1857 when it was published in two volumes.
