Voiles et caravansérails : l’Orient dans Lolita by Monica Manolescu

“…Humbert compares himself to a sultan several times, but, upon closer scrutiny, it turns out that he is rather Sheherazade, who needs to invent new appealing stories to amuse Lolita and to keep her close to him.

Le Peire Rogier de Peire d’Alvernhe revisité par l’auteur de Flamenca : Guillem de Nevers, le troubadour au psautier by Katy Bernard

“…It seems that the author of Flamenca had fun fusing the troubadour Peire Rogier into his character in order to have him follow Peire d’Alvernhe’s advice, but redirecting the satire – which was aimed at the troubadour in the song –, towards the religious and, seemingly, courteous society of his novel : he sets up a particularly ingenious game about the symbolism of the psalter and that of the religious man. Indeed, the author amuses himself by making Guillem a cleric whose ordination has no other reason than the love he feels for Flamenca and by making the holy book the medium in which Guillem is able to foresee ̶ through bibliomancy  ̶ his love for Flamenca ; the medium also by which peace kisses foreshadow love kisses, and over which he exchanges words of love with Flamenca. …”
