The aesthetics of imagination and spiritualist issues in La Terre avant le déluge by Figuier and L’Univers by Pouchet
Esthétique de l’imaginaire et enjeux spiritualistes : La Terre avant le déluge de Figuier et L’Univers de Pouchet
Abstract
Science popularization books, La Terre avant le déluge by Louis Figuier and L’Univers: les infiniment
grands et les infiniment petits by Félix-Archimède Pouchet, represent the success of science popularization
publishing of this period and the desire to spread naturalistic knowledge far and wide. With
a spiritual approach to nature, they underline the important epistemological stakes of this period. The
aim of this study is to question the literary, stylistic and formal strategies to assert or underline thoughts
on nature in these books.
