Book excerpt: "praise for the Italian edition: ""I read this book with passion from beginning to end."--Pierre Bourdieu "A remarkable study of "King Lear" . . . an extremely interesting and, I think, tenable thesis . . . at least as tenable as Ernest Jones's study of Hamlet's oedipal fixation."--Anthony Burgess "I was truly fascinated by this book, which introduces a totally unexpected, though perfectly plausible and, in a sense, obvious, reading of "Madame Bovary," From now on, it will be impossible to ignore this work whenever a study of Flaubert's novel is undertaken."--Jean-Pierre Richard
