LE PÉRIPLE DES GRANDES VILLES DANS LES RÉCITS DE MAXIME DU CAMP
JOURNEY IN THE BIG CITY STORIES FROM CAMP MAXIME

Summary/Abstract: For the French writer Maxime Du Camp, who remained in the literary history as Gustave Flaubert’s close friend, the travel writings often represent a valorization of his vast culture, illustrating a mediated vision on life, since the space that he visits passes through the filter of the author’s culture, which connects him to the outside world. Thus, Alexandria, Cairo, Jerusalem, Constantinople, Damascus, Rhodes, Beirut, Spart, etc, make up not only a spatial, but also an inner, spiritual journey.
