"THE FISH-SCORPION" UNDER THE SIGN OF RETICENCE

Summary/Abstract: The Fish-Scorpion by Nicolas Bouvier is a literary work that allows the study of the concept of reluctance in different forms. The title of this book invites the reader to make assumptions and offers him the opportunity to imagine himself, to have expectations regarding the content of the novel, to try to find the explanation of the title in the novel. Reluctance is introduced into the work through intertextuality with both direct and indirect references. Direct and indirect references give readers the opportunity to reflect, think and interpret things as they wish, to enrich the meaning from their own readings, to see and imagine themselves beyond the actual text of the work. The implication appears beyond the microcosm and this lends to different interpretations. Reticence is a process which enriches and nuances a literary work.
