Understanding Deleuze

Deleuze's name is associated with some strange concepts (machines désirantes, ritournelle, machine de guerre or lignes de fuite). Yet these impressive notions are easy to explain, as long as we have the intuition that orders his work. This book helps us to understand the thread that binds Deleuze's thought, notably through literary characters such as Bartleby, Lancelot and the Princess of Cleves. Deleuze appears undogmatic, open to variation and to the invention of a multiplicity of possible meanings of life.
