Heated and silent adoration in the novel of " Desert of Love" by Francois Mauriac: Passions dévorantes et cachées dans Le Désert de lʼAmour de François Mauriac
...Show More Authors

  François Mauriac’s novel The Desert of Love (1949) puts the reader before an experienced sociologist who is skillfully able to analyze the most mysterious human emotions and feelings.  The writer's starting point is that people are similar in feelings but different in behavior. He severely criticized the aristocratic class and uncovered its defects and faults.

         The novelist presents Courege's family as an example of the aristocratic class. It is a family torn by hatred, selfishness and disagreements due to absence of intimacy and love. This poisoned environment pushes the father and his son, Raymond, to search away for emotional ventures and banned relations to satiate their emotional thirst.

         Unfortunately, they fall in deep love with the same woman unintentionally. She does not satisfy their burning passion as she leaves them with much thirst for love. They become like getting out of frying pan into the fire.

          Finally, Mauriac figures out the reasons of all problems in the absence of love and passion which represent the key for welfare and happiness. The writer reveals his stylistic skill and unparalleled literary ability in describing the whole atmosphere which leaves the reader amused and captivated in passion battle , a battle with no winner.

The paper is divided into two basic topics:
1-Dryness of family relations 
2-Emotional ventures and illegal relations
The research paper depends on objective analytic approach via topic unity analysis .

Résumé

        Le Désert de L’Amour  met le lecteur en face d’un sociologue chevronné du début du XX ème siècle, un sociologue apte à analyser expertement les sensations et les émotions humaines les plus subtiles et les plus fugitives .

         François Mauriac part d’un principe psychologique de base dans ses études, c’est que les gens convergent dans les pensées et les sentiments, mais ils divergent dans leurs manières d’agir .

        Son domaine favorable était la société et surtout la classe bourgeoise qu’il fouettait sans merci pour la mettre à nu avec tous ses torts et ses travers.

        Mauriac choisit la famille Courrèges comme échantillon de cette classe sociale. Il s’agit d’une famille déchiquetée par l’égoïsme, la haine et les malentendus permanents. Ce climat toxique et malsain pousse obligatoirement le père Courrèges et son fils Raymond à échapper à la famille pour chercher des aventures amoureuses et des  relations extra conjugales afin d’assouvir leur soif d’amour.

        Par malheur, ils tombent amoureux de la même femme sans le savoir et sans jamais l’avouer. Malgré leur passion dévorante pour cette femme charmante, et à l’encontre de toute attente, elle n’a fait qu’élargir leur désert et augmenter son aridité; les deux amants sont restés sur leur soif pareils à celui qui , pour échapper à la chaleur, se protège par le feu.

       Tout compte fait, François Mauriac met le doigt sur la véritable plaie de tous ces problèmes en l’absence de l’amour. L’amour seul est la clé et le remède efficace qui peut transformer les déserts en jardins verdoyants.

         Dans son roman, l’auteur fait preuve d’ingéniosité dans le style,  et de capacité littéraire inouïe qui berce le lecteur et le laisse emporter par son imagination dans une bataille amoureuse sans vainqueur .

Cette recherche est  divisée en deux thèmes principaux :
1-Sécheresse des relations familiales .
2-Aventures amoureuses et relations extraconjugales .
Dans cette étude, nous avons recours à la méthode thématique, explicative et analytique .

...Show More Authors

In his post colonial novel, In the Skin of a lion, the Canadian/Sri Lankan writer,

...Show More Authors

There is no doubt that complexities and ambiguities exist in the human minds. The need to unravel and solve those mysteries and the foggy actualities of life’s existence has been one of Paulo Coelho’s (1947-present) biggest concern.

    The paper tackles one of Paulo Coelho’s novels Aleph (2011) which is considered as an autobiographical reading to signify the connection between himself and God. It was a phase
