Dictionnaire des idées reçues

by Gustave Flaubert (2001)

About this book

Gustave Flaubert disait que l'immense bêtise moderne lui donnait " la rage". Aussi décida-t-il de la concentrer en un dictionnaire des idées reçues, mais mourut avant d'achever son projet. Restent alors des définitions au vitriol qui, dans leur concision, n'en sont que plus cruelles. Celle du dictionnaire ? : " En rire - n'est fait que pour les ignorants. " N'en déplaise à Flaubert, si vous voulez rire, n'ignorez pas son dictionnaire, celui des idées reçues...

Cover of Todos los fuegos el fuego

Todos los fuegos el fuego

Julio Cortázar

All Fires the Fire offers eight great examples of the creative fullness that encompasses Cortázar's stories. From the exasperated metaphor of human relationships that is "La autopista del sur" through the masterpiece that is "El otro cielo," Cortázar once again paves the way to stories that are a must-read for lovers of the story genre in general. "La salud de los enfermos," "Reunión," "La señorita Cora," "La isla a mediodía," "Instrucciones para John Howell," and "Todos los fuegos el fuego" are a celebration of intelligence, passion, and genius.
