| Περίληψη: | The examples of André Gide, Sylvie Germain and their characters show to what extent it is futile to try renouncing what one has inherited in order to assert oneself as without a past, having severed links with one’s roots and one’s culture: inherited traits are a part of one’s identity. Gide, who on many occasions would have liked to wipe the slate clean in order to «stand up naked on virgin territory» (Les Nouvelles Nourritures), remained an inheritor, as did his heroes, those of L’Immoraliste, Les Caves du Vatican and Les Faux-Monnayeurs in particular. In the case of Sylvie Germain, the question of inheritance is played out essentially in the depths of the individual’s being, in their unconscious and their inner crypt. Thus Le Livre des Nuits and Nuit-d’Ambre constitute a broad drama of cross-generational transmission, a drama which is re-enacted in most of the novels that follow. |
