POUR UNE MÉTAMORPHOSE DU LIBERTIN OU LE SYNDROME DE L’EXTRA-TERRITORIALITÉ CHEZ MILAN KUNDERA ET ÉRIC-EMMANUEL SCHMITT
A METAMORPHOSIS OF THE LIBERTINE OR THE EXTRA-TERRITORIALITY SYNDROME IN THE WORKS OF MILAN KUNDERA AND ÉRIC EMMANUEL SCHMITT

Summary/Abstract: A Metamorphosis of the Libertine or the Extra-Territoriality Syndrome in the Works of Milan Kundera and Éric Emmanuel Schmitt. This research aims to discuss the question of an ostensible metamorphosis of the libertine typology, as it is presented in the work of two contemporary writers, Milan Kundera and Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. The first is the case of Tomas in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, published in 1984, first in Czech and, very soon afterward, in a French translation at Gallimard. On the other hand, we will analyze the same subject of an inherent metamorphosis caused by the extra-territoriality in The Elixir of Love, the epistolary novel of Éric Emmanuel Schmitt, published thirty years later, in 2014.
