A Beautiful Dwarf and a Jewish Paper Nose

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the following article is to deconstruct multiple meanings of the presence of a Jewish female dwarf in Albert Cohen’s novel „Belledu Seigneur”. The key moment of the narrative, where this character appears, does not allow us to ignore her. Her presence is so enigmatic and the scene so oneiric that we are forced to find intertextual connections, seeking a wider historical and literary context which will help us understand this figure.
