Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to bring into discussion the work of Hervé Bazin, a great novelist of the XXst century, drawing on the concept of travelling in his novels. Preferring the telluric universe instead of the river, Hervé Bazin transforms the scene of his novel into a privileged space for writing. And as the writing is original, it demands a continuous resumption and a wide area of each published novel: in this way, the Bazinian character is defined by a spirit of wanderling, being fascinated by Ether, this empty space that he fills in with his creative mind and with the dynamism of his self.
