Dictionnaire des idées reçues

Published posthumously in 1911, Gustave Flaubert's 'Dictionnaire des idées reçues' is a satirical dictionary that critiques common clichés and societal norms of his time. The work presents a collection of entries that expose the absurdities of conventional wisdom and the limitations of human thought. Notable for its sharp wit and enduring relevance, it serves as a reflection on the stagnation of ideas throughout history.
