Hi, I've never posted here but I'm a long-time lurker.

I just recently got interested in Flaubert, and I really would like to get a hold of a
bilingual text/audiobook for Madame Bovary so I could enjoy it in the original French. I
distinctly remember seeing them on a site made a while back by one very helpful member
who went by the alias MarcoDiAngelo, but it appears to have recently been taken down. I
would message him directly, but he doesn't seem to visit the forums anymore.

If there's anyone out there who has his contact information, or knows how one might
otherwise be able to get a hold of this and the other texts/audiobooks that were
available on his site, please let me know! Thanks.

Well, if you end up not being able to get in contact with the person, there is a paper
version:

The topLanguage/dp/0956401058">Amazon link

You can also get them online for free at project Gutenberg too:

default_prefix=author_id&sort_order=downloads&query=574">Pro ject Gutenberg link

The top one in that list is the English version, 2nd one is the French.

Here is a good quality audio recording from librivox:

Hope this helps.

jsilv, jazzboy.bebop has given you good advice on how to get what you want for free. I use those same resources to make my own bilingual texts. I download the text file paste it into word and print it to pdf. Then I open up both pdf texts, place them side by side on the screen and align the texts so that they match as well as possible. Yeah, it's a bit cumbersome and clumsy but it works and it's free. Some people cannot stand reading on a computer, if it doesn't bother you, give it a go.
