Madame Bovary

Gustave Flaubert · Michel Lévy frères, Paris · 1857

No book-club issue in the period. The traps are "first thus": Lévy reissues with the dedication corrected to "Sénard"; the many later illustrated and "édition définitive" printings; and the 1886 Vizetelly translation catalogued as "first edition" when it is the first English, not the first. Modern reprints of the Marx-Aveling translation are everywhere.
