Abstract

The present paper ana lyses the recurrent images of the sun in the Egyptian part of the Voyage en Orient by Gustave Flaubert. The first part shows the frequency of the solar images used by the writer and contrasts it with his attitude towards repetition. The second tries to categorise the contexts where the sun appears and the last one analyses some sunsets’ descriptions and shows how Flaubert builds them.
