THE PERCEPTION OF REALITY IN BULGARIA : RENÉ ARAV’S TESTIMONIAL STORYDIPLOMATES ET ESPIONS FRANÇAIS, HÉROS OUBLIÉS, BALKANS 1940-1945 AND ROMAIN GARY’S NOVEL LA NUIT SERA CALME

Abstract

In this work my purpose is to analyse the perception of reality in René Arav’s testimony story Diplomates et espions français, héros oubliés, Balkans 1940 – 1945 and Romain Gary’s novel La nuit sera calme. The interpreted events took place in Bulgaria during and after WWII . I have chosen to found my study on Tzvetan Todorov’s works Le siècle des totalitarismes and Les abus de la mémoire.
