Le récit de voyage de Patrick Leigh Fermor, A Time of Gifts, met en scène la situation fragile du futur écrivain quittant l’Angleterre en 1933 pour atteindre Constantinople à pied. Tout au long de sa traversée de l’Europe centrale, ses digressions sur le Moyen-Âge, la Renaissance et l’Histoire moderne européenne offrent un contrepoint aux politiques contemporaines marquées par l’hostilité. Fermor joue de multiples formes de déplacement pour partager avec ses lecteurs sa propre vulnérabilité et sa quête de fragments poétiques, picturaux et historiques qui nous entraîne au-delà de la « longue nuit qui approche » (TG 357). |

Patrick Leigh Fermor’s travel narrative A Time of Gifts stages the liminal condition of the future writer leaving England in 1933 and aiming to reach Constantinople on foot. As he crosses Central Europe his digressions into medieval, Renaissance and modern European history function as distorted mirrors to the present-day history of political hostility. Forcing us to adjust our focus through repeated forms of displacement, Fermor allows us to share the narrator’s vulnerable position and to embark on his quest for poetic, pictorial and historical fragments that spur us to look beyond “the long night ahead” (TG 357). |
