Abstract
The Red Steppe of Joseph Kessel is a valuable work, insofar as it is mainly
characterized by its generic hybridity. The six novellas oscillate between the biographical
and autobiographical, between history and fiction, between the individual
and the collective, between the current and the universal. A sort of juxtaposition and/
or co-existence can be traced between the novella of Kessel and other literary genres
such as the travelogue, the initiation story, the adventure story, the historical narrative
and the fictional narrative. This interdiscursive report makes the historical text
an open text, “a hybrid text.”
