Abstract

The second part of 19th – century is a period in which in each of the great poets a range of analogic relations gets wider and narrower: Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Mallarmé express in their work this tendency to search for the true life, for the hidden real movement in which the sensations play a primordial role. Nowadays, the work of Le Clezio confi rms the pursuit of a complete world aroused by poetry, the only possible way of translating the sensory ecstasy into words: this is what his essays show as much as his fi ctional work, from L’extase matérielle and L’Inconnu sur la terre to Mondo et autres histoires, Désert, La Quarantaine and Coeur brûle et autres romances, corpus selected to the discussion of the subject.
