Riassunto

An insightful and playful look at nineteenth-century values and talking points, this dictionary will provide enduring entertainment and prove relevant in any age

A spoof encyclopedia of contemporary accepted wisdom and commonplaces,The Dictionary of Received Ideas sees Flaubert at his witty and satirical best. Perhaps intended as a companion to his final, unfinished novelBouvard and Pécuchet, this compilation was the result of a lifetime of collecting the absurd and the clichéd, and providing darkly humorous explanations. This impressive new translation of a classic by the author ofMadame Bovary is also currently the only edition in print in the English language.
