Everyone knows the work of Gustave Flaubert Madame Bovary, who gave a lot to talk about at the time of its publication and was about to cost the author a serious displeasure, although she set a very liberating precedent for all writers by legally separating the figures of narrator and writer from then on .
It turns out that the book, which contains a great profusion of sexual scenes and talks about adultery, scandalized the most purists and Flaubert was taken to judgment thus.
He finally managed to convince the judges that he did not agree with the low moral acts that were described in the book and had to make them understand that it was a work of fiction and that he as a person was nothing more than the creator of the depraved character from Emma bovary, which he presented to readers as an example of what not to do.
This ingenious defense, which is still the most real thing in the world, served him to be absuelto and it also gave much fame to the book that continued to be sold widely.
However, this chapter must have stung Flaubert himself so much that he said he would like to have enough money to buy all the copies and throw them away fire to never hear of them again.
