INTERCULTURAL INTERACTIONS AND DIALOGISM IN SOME NOVELS OF LAURENT GOUNELLE

Abstract

All novels of the best-selling French author Laurent Gounelle are dedicated to the personal development. The heroes evolution and the plot structure in two of them – „The Man Who Wanted to be Happy“ and „The Frantic Philosopher“ – depend directly on interesting intercultural interactions. The paper compares those two novels and analyses the importance of intercultural interactions and dialogism.
