Description
Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating. Flaubert’s erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: ‘Madame Bovary, c’est moi’.

Flaubert's meticulous approach to the craft of fiction, his portrayal of contemporary reality, his representation of an unforgettable cast of characters make Madame Bovary one

Biographie
[modifier | modifier le code]Louis-Nicolas Flobert invente la première cartouche métallique à percussion annulaire en 1845. Il s'agissait d'une innovation majeure dans le domaine des munitions d'armes à feu. Au début du XIXe siècle une cartouche était simplement un récipient de toile ou de papier contenant tout le nécessaire pour un tir : une quantité pré-mesurée de poudre à canon, une balle, tandis que le récipient servait de bourre. L'apparition des amorce au fulminate de mercure, dans le premier quart du même siècle, simplifie le tir, mais elles ne sont au début qu'un élément supplémentaire de la cartouche. En 1808 Jean Samuel Pauly met au point la première cartouche intégrée : elle comporte une base en cuivre avec l'amorce, et son corps en papier contient la poudre, la bourre et la balle ; elle peut être utilisé directement dans une arme à cha
