Abstract

Between her childhood in Bellac and her time as a castaway on an islet in the middle of the Pacific, the protagonist of Suzanne et le Pacifique becomes a solitary wanderer in the streets of Paris, in a chapter that evokes the favorite haunts of Giraudoux’s youth before the Great War. This article aims to analyze the “three Parises” present in his novel: the transitory space between the French mainland and the exotic island; the unruly capital that remains incomprehensible to those from the provinces; and the beating heart of a homeland that must be defended.

2023
Entre son enfance à Bellac et son naufrage dans l'îlot au milieu du Pacifique, la protagoniste de Suzanne et le Pacifique se transforme en promeneuse solitaire à Paris, dans un chapitre évoquant les lieux de la jeunesse de Giraudoux avant la Grande Guerre. Cet article vise à analyser les trois Paris présents dans ce roman : la terre de transition entre la campagne et l'île exotique, la capitale sauvage qui demeure incompréhensible pour les provinciaux, et le cœur battant d’une patrie à défendre.
