Cet article se donne pour but d’examiner la façon dont Patrick Leigh Fermor réimagine l’Orient dans Entre fleuve et forêt et La route interrompue en proposant un commentaire de la définition de l’Orient pendant l’entre-deux-guerres en Europe. La notion d’« orientalisme » sera par ailleurs discutée à la lumière du concept d’orientalisme de la frontière, notamment en ce qui concerne les remarques de Leigh Fermor sur les pays d’Europe centrale et orientale. J’interrogerai ensuite la notion de nostalgie dans l’œuvre de Leigh Fermor, en commentant l’usage qu’il en fait et les caractéristiques qu’elle prend dans son œuvre. Je proposerai de voir dans la nostalgie un concept qui ramène l’auteur à un passé romantique, tout en lui fournissant un mode d’accès possible à ces régions.
