The image of the gentleman according to Anne Cunéo: a transcultural journey of individuation

Summary/Abstract: Anne Cunéo is a Swiss writer, with a rich experience in cinema and television. The book which consecrated her as a novelist is Le trajet d’une rivière (1993), a seducing novel which invites the reader to discover Francis Tregian as a stereotypical image of the Renaissance humanist. Inspired from reality, this character surprises by his life built beyond conventions, taking the form of a long exile. He aims at a freedom of the conscience which he can only reach in his passion for music. Anne Cunéo fills her novel with the musical images populating Francis Tregian’s inner life, images that he exteriorizes in the form of compositions, collections of scores and musical instruments. This is how he constructs his identity in the absence of a space able to provide him with the feeling of stability and spiritual comfort.
