“Aphorisme ant\u00e9dinatoire <\/i>
Il y a peu de choses au monde qui \u00e9taient aussi<\/i>
odieuses, inutiles et… le reste – que celle qui consent, <\/i>
\u00e0 \u00e9crire dans un album <\/i>
Voil\u00e0 !<\/i>
G. Flaubert <\/i><\/p>\n
Aphorisme post dinatoire <\/i><\/p>\n
Il y a peu de choses au monde qui soient aussi<\/i><\/p>\n
int\u00e9ressantes, charmantes, etc… le reste, – que celle qui <\/i>
consiste, apr\u00e8s un bon d\u00eener, \u00e0 \u00e9crire dans un <\/i>
album.<\/i>
Voil\u00e0 !<\/i>
G. Flaubert <\/i>
<\/p>\n
(Les aphorismes d\u00e9finitifs de P\u00e9cuchet et Bouvard)” <\/i><\/p>\n
Bouvard and P\u00e9cuchet are lovably ridiculous characters who use empirical and pseudo-scientific methods to achieve encyclopaedic knowledge. The two protagonists cover almost every section of human knowledge at the time, but their lack of knowledge often leads to disaster. Flaubert offers an innovative and comic approach to encyclopaedic knowledge and its methods.<\/p>\n
