THOMAS, J., Le dépassement du quotidien dans l''Énéide', les 'Métamorphoses' d'Apulée et le 'Satyricon'. Les Belles Lettres, Paris, 1986. 210p. Paperback. Some light, erasable pencil strikes from pp.31-52. (Rare). 'This is a very French book, whose character the empirical Anglo-Saxon will not readily understand. (...) The meat of Th.'s book lies in the first three chapters. First he tries to demonstrate that there is a hidden meaning, a need for a 'lecture intérieure', for each of the three works, i.e. that the 'dépassent' the everyday world and reach into l'imaginaire'. (...) Overall this is a bewildering book and by that I do not refer simply to its unusual theoretical supposistions. The theory he uses is poorly explained and is applied in an idiosyncratically doctrinaire way.' (KEN DOWDEN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1988, From the library of Professor Carl Deroux. € 49.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9782251328638
