Nerval's journey to Greece

This publication shows Nerval' s interest in Greece. In Nerval's voyage to Cythera, there is a real fusion of the space seen with the space dreamed of. The journey to Greece is interested in the customs, mores, religion and trade of that country. Nerval seeks the trace of his feelings and dreams. He composed his Voyage en Grèce as a collection of travel notes, sketches, stories and fragments. In what he writes, he emphasises what he delights in: their oddities. Nerval's journey to Greece is richer than that of La Martine and Chateau Briand. This journey is a world of knowledge, of thoughts and feelings, of painting and poetry.
