( ) I'm not sure "accepted ideas" is really a decent translation of the title; "received ideas" is at least an existing idiom in English, and captures both the transmission and the passivity inherent in the kind of ideas Flaubert lampoons. Nevertheless, it's really nice to have the Dictionary in a separate, slim volume. It really is one of the most brilliant, funny, carefully-produced (if never completed) texts ever composed. Not just a masterclass in satire and intriguing document of nineteenth-century France, it's also hilarious and infinitely re-readable. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)Is opgenomen inOeuvres, Vol I et II door Gustave Flaubert (indirect)
Throughout his life Flaubert made it a game to eavesdrop for the cliché, the platitude, the borrowed and unquestioned idea with which the "right thinking" swaddle their minds. After his death his little treasury of absurdities, of half-truths and social lies, was published as a Dictionnaire des idées reçues. Because its devastating humor and irony are often dependent on the phrasing in vernacular French, the Dictionnairewas long considered untranslatable. This notion was takenas a challenge by Jacques Barzun. Determined to find the exact English equivalent for each "accepted idea" Flaubert recorded, he has succeeded in documenting our own inanities. With a satirist's wit and a scholar's precision, Barzun has produced a very contemporary self-portrait of the middle-class philistine, a species as much alive today as when Flaubert railed against him.
