looking for information on the life of Flaubert (1821-1880) and created with her the first part of your comment.
The most important novel of Flaubert is certainly Madame Bovary (1857).
The novel's protagonist, Emma Bovary is a woman whom his reading romantic impulse to want to lead a life of excitement, passion and luxury that she identifies as the real life. However, its existence is set in boring places, surrounded by loved vulgar.

To escape his humdrum life, the protagonist is committed to loans that unable to cope and meet lovers who show such vulgar and insensitive as beings who want to flee. Emma, \u200b\u200bin line with its spirit, committed suicide at the end of the work. Madame Bovary
was a novel controversy in his own country and Flaubert had to face a trial because it was considered an immoral work. However, its influence is wide. The Regent Clarin has many points of contact with this novel.
The fragment (Chapter IX of Part I) that I have copied, Emma, \u200b\u200bfrom the provincial place where he lives, dreams of life in Paris, which she believes full of love and luxury.
Paris, more vague than the ocean, shining, then, in the eyes of Emma between flashes lit. Multiforme life was always in the tumult was, however, compartmentalized, separate tables classified. Emma was receiving no more than two or three, which hid all else, and represented their own humanity. The world of glittering ambassadors walked on pavements, in rooms lined with mirrors, round oval tables covered with a carpet of velvet with golden stripes. There were suits tail, great mysteries, anguish hidden under smiles. Then came the duchesses society, they were pale, got up at four, women, poor angels!, English lace wore skirts and men ignored capabilities under appearances futile burst their horses in entertainment, in summer they would go to Baden, and, finally, to the quarantine, married the heiress. In the quiet of restaurants where dinner after midnight saw the candlelight the motley crowd of men of letters and actresses. Those were prodigal as kings full of fantastic delusions ideals and ambitions. It was an existence above the others, between heaven and earth, in the storms, something sublime. The rest of the people was lost, without a precise and it does not exist. Moreover, the closer were the most diverged thinking of them. All around her immediately, rural environment boring, petty bourgeois idiots, mediocrity of existence, it seemed an exception in the world, in particular random who was imprisoned, while beyond stretched to lose sight of the vast country of joys and passions. In his desire to confuse the sensuality of luxury with the joy of the heart, elegance of manners with delicacy of feeling. Do not need love as a land of tropical plants preparations, a particular temperature? Whisper to the moonlight, long embraces, tears flowing over the hands that are abandoned, all fevers of the flesh and the languor of tenderness is not separated from the balcony of the great castles that are full of distractions, a living room with curtains of silk with a very thick carpet, with well-filled flower pots, a bed ridden on a platform or the sparkle of precious stones and gallons of the livery.
