Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will examine the novel Sara, published by Stefan Agopian in 1987.The novel is a rewriting of the Book of Tobit, from the Old Testament, and is preceded by another novel written by the prose writer on the same biblical theme, entitled Tobit. I will approach the work from the perspective the overvaluation that certain notions suffer, in the transition from the Bible to its narrative Agopian. Transvalorization is a literary phenomenon discussed by G. Genette in his study, Palimpsestes (1982), but my method is not entirely faithful to the narrator.
