Summary/Abstract: From the point of view of ecocriticism, living nature under the pen of Giono and Le Clézio reveals a profusion that integrates mineral dimensions, wildlife and plants. Living nature, in the writings of these authors, expresses a direct contact with the organic and establishes a new approach to living creatures. Moreover, this approach reveals man's responsibility in the preservation of nature.
