摘要:Nicolas Bouvier’s work (Geneva, 1929-1998) is the result of his lifelong travel impressions which
began while he was still a teenager. In the circuits taken by this great traveler, the land routes are
seemingly the most significant ones even though the sea, which is virtually absent, often reveals itself
through associated elements which are materialized in notable metaphors. As metaphor, symbol or
physical reference, the sea and its related imagery emerge in the exceptional experiences in the
islands, particularly those in Le Poisson-scorpion. This text interweaves the threads of land and sea as
well as of individuality and alterity.
