Komandera, Aleksandra2022-06-102022-06-102014"Quêtes littéraires" 2014, nº 4, s. 111-119http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12153/3149The paper discusses the theme of wandering in the novel by French author André Dhôtel. The protagonist of Le Mont Damion, Fabien Gort, is not a typical vagrant, as he is a member of an intellectual and quite rich family. However, because of his strong absent-mindedness and strangeness, Fabien is unable to find a place in social structures. People’s hostility leads him to many wanderings and unexpected encounters which influence his existence. The novel seems to be also a generic wandering, as it possesses some features of picaresque novel, adventure novel, initiation story and fairy tale fantasy.frAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/André Dhôtelwanderingstrangesocial structureshybrid genreinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.31743/ql.4578
