Description is a form of writing that has long been perceived with some contempt. Due to its undefinable and vague nature, it is indeed uncategorizable, and seems to escape all parameters. What adds to its contempt is its non-utilitarian, non-pragmatical nature; that is, description for the sake of description, or a way to show off knowledgability. Since the Classical period, description had been classified into various categories, just to name a few: chronography, topography, prosopography, prosopopaeia , portrait, parallel, hypotyposis. And still, it had never been attributed a definite theoretical status. Today, the debate continues. In this thesis, I will discuss the linguistic systems of description as defined by Philippe Hamon and Jean-Michel Adam, and to which Jean Molino opposes. / The creative text illustrates that man is in fact indissociable from his environment. Man is greatly determined by the place where he lives. The story is about a woman is forced to return to her original social and cultural background because of her father's death. Her return back to her roots, namely the family business, instigates a requestioning of her cultural identity, and consequently, she develops a pessimistic view of her surroundings.
