Summary

GUY BECHTEL, JEAN-CLAUDE CARRIERE: A Dictionary of Stupidity

Dictionary of stupidity is considered one of the first studies in the field of counterculture. Funny, but also serious, eternal stupidity, which exists in each of us, and which delighted even Flaubert, got its real encyclopedic place in this work.
