Dictionnaire égoïste de la littérature française

Synopsis of Dictionnaire égoïste de la littérature française

«Dictionnaire égoïste de la littérature française» is the personal dictionary of Charles Dantzig, published by Bernard Grasset in paperback.

Organized as a dictionary, it brings together entries on celebrated and forgotten authors, works, fictional characters and concepts, from François Villon to Françoise Sagan. Charles Dantzig combines erudition, humor and deliberately biased opinions; he does not confine himself to the writings, he is also interested in the authors as people, and champions a cheerful, brilliant form of learning.

A work written in French, published in Paris in 2005, which includes bibliographic references and was awarded the Prix Décembre 2005.

For readers interested in French literature who appreciate a learned, entertaining work of reference with a personal point of view.
