Le village comme espace romanesque; suivi de Smorzando et Le récital / Smorzando

This Master's thesis in literary creation comprises two parts. The first part is an analysis of the village as a setting in novels and draws upon a corpus of seven novels, from Madame Bovary to Chronique d'une mort annoncee. It will be shown that the main characteristics of the physical space and human space of the village scarcely vary from one novel to another, and constitute a sort of archetype which determines the esthetical purpose of each author. The second part is comprised of two short stories, respectively titled Smorzando and Le recital. These short stories deal with two betrayals, one carried out in cold lucidity and the other unconsciously. The world of music is the background of both these short stories.
