La hantise du corps ajoutee a celle de la mort, hantises qui trahis- sent un attrait et une repulsion lies aux phenomenes conscients et inconscients, inscrivent ces deux ecritures sous le mode de l'ambi- gu et du paradoxal. L'erotisme litteraire comme sublimation du desir sexuel donne aux univers romanesques mauriacien et greenien un ca- ractere particulier : il dynamise l'oeuvre dont il est aussi le su- jet.
Novelistic writings of eroticism in francois mauriac and julian green between nineteen thirty and nineteen forty
The body's and death's obsession, obsession which reveals attraction and repulsion related with conscious and unconscious phenomena, set these two writings under the ambiguous's and paradoxical's form. The literary eroticism as sexual desire's sublimation communicates to the mauriacian and to the greenian novelistic universe a special feature : it drives the novel of whick it is the subject.
