Epersonnage entre rêve et réalité dans le roman maritime du XVIIIème siècle "frontière vers l’inconnu"

Abstract EN

The character of the sea voyage sometimes likes to detach from society, to be independent from anything or anyone, listens inwardly, controls his impulses, his needs, his pleasure.

He also feels the need to take refuge in his rev�- eries, so he brings this entire personal dimension, both meeting with the self and intimate exploration.

But even if they do not have the means to take off, the eighteenth century men of letter took refuge in fantasy and dreamed of the sea because they had no alternative but to travel through writing.
