Les mythes bibliques dans l’œuvre de Jacques Chessex
Biblical myths in the work of Jacques Chessex

Summary/Abstract: Biblical inter textuality is a distinctive feature of the literary works of the Swiss romand writer Jacques Chessex. Most of his books deal with the reinterpretation of certain episodes of the Bible, placing themselves at the border between literature and the Holy Scriptures. Jonas, L’Ardent Royaume, Judas le Transparent, La Trinité or Reste avec nous are just some of the texts whose titles clearly refer to the biblical tradition. Our study aims to analyse Chessex’s reinterpretation of three biblical myths : the myth of the Genesis of the world, the myth of Jonas and the myth of Jericho.
