Contre la Bible, contre le père ou à la découverte de l’univers des références intertextuelles extra bibliques dans Franz et François de François Weyergans
Against the Bible, against his father: On discovering the world of extrabiblical intertextual references in François Weyergans’ Franz et François

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the analysis is to present selected non-biblical intertextual references appearing in the novel Franz et François by the Belgian writer François Weyergans. They create a polylogue of voices coming from various areas of culture, e.g. literature (Gide), philosophy (Sartre, Camus) or psychoanalysis (Freud, Karl Abraham), and often taking issue with the world of traditional biblical values. As such these references illustrate well the process of individuation of the hero of the novel who, full of guilt, moves away from the Bible and from his father.
