L'image de l'au-delà dans le théâtre de Paul Claudel: approche intertextuelle

Abstract EN

The Rest of the seventh day is a Catholic drama through which the author wanted to emphasize the need for the introduction of the divine work in our lives.

The man of our day bogged down, body and mind, in a vicious cycle of hard work and hard equipment, seems to need a rest like that which God started, according to the Bible, just as a kind of revitalization reason and heart in the action of unemployment.

The very idea finds its echo in several literary works preceding that of Claudel.

There are also common points in the holy books of different religions, which prove that the eschatological ideology is almost the same, and that the literary prototype could be common.
