Summary
An English translation of "Dictionnaire des idées reçues", a postumous publication of Flaubert's collection of overheard comments, "the cliché, the platitude, the borrowed and unquestioned idea", "absurdities", "half-truths, and social lies." "[A] very contemporary self-portrait of the middle-class philistine, a species as much alive today as when Flaubert railed against him"--P. 4. of cover.
