Summary/Abstract: To revalorize the “enchanting background” of the enigmatic and fascinating Antiquity, which he re-elaborates from its scattered and fragmented remains,the French writer Pascal Quignard proposes anaggiornamento of some ancient literary short forms. HisLittle Treatisestherefore represent an unconventional assemblage of fragments that condense the reflection by endowing it with the sparkliness and the fugacity of fireworks; that search for the deep meaningof discourse by playing with its latent connotations; that translate the stream of thought by fractioning the storytelling. Thissingular narratio brevis, which wanders through ages, contexts and literary genres, corresponds to a world view as a fragmented space and to a writing view as a discontinuous and unfinished discourse.
