Summary/Abstract: According to the Petit Larousse Illustrated, geography is the science which aims to describe and explain the current, natural and human aspect of the Earth's surface. Therefore, geography can be considered as a writing of space, as its suffix attests, it is a mode of apprehension and appropriation of the world through language. Geocriticism represents a meeting place between geography and literature. Both talk about space but the difference consists in the fact that the referent of the first is real while that of the second is fictitious.
