INFLUENŢA LUI VERNE ÎN ATLANTIDE (1901) DE YAMBO
VERNE'S INFLUENCE IN ATLANTIDE (1901) BY YAMBO

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the intertextual connexions between Yambo’s Atlantide (1901) and Verne’s novels Voyage au centre de la terre (1864) and Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (1869). It aims to point out not only Verne’s presence in Yambo’s novel, but also the way in which the Italian author appropriates motifs borrowed from the French model. This personal appropriation shows how very different the ideology and the pedagogical project underlying the two novelists’ writing are. Thus, even if youth and mass literature is usually strictly codified and relies on the pleasure the reader gets from recognizing recurring stereotypes, we will show how Yambo innovated due to his personal project or the different historical and cultural context.
