Discours social, texte et paratexte: les aleas de la fortune d''Aden Arabie.'
Article Abstract:
Paul Nizan's 'Aden Arabie' can be read as a discussion of the social issues between the two world wars. Both text and paratext contribute to such an interpretation. Nizan's interest in communism has been criticized as too sentimental and romantic, but such criticism misses the work's main point, which is a statement in favor of society's need for change. The text of the article is in French.
