Official synopsis Publisher
� En rade � est le voyage spirituel de Jacques ruin� financi�rement qui d�rive de naufrages en d�sastres. Il s’est r�fugi� chez des paysans et tout le roman consiste � opposer la ville et la campagne, toutes deux, d’ailleurs, domin�es par l’�go�sme et la cupidit�. Mais l’inter�t de � En rade � r�side surtout en une ouverture sur le r�ve et son analyse, bien avant les th�ories de Freud : on passe du naturalisme au � surnaturalisme � …Trois r�ves ponctuent le r�cit, le r�ve d’Assu�rus au chapitre III, le r�ve de la Lune au chapitre V et celui des tours de Saint-Sulpice au chapitre X ; des r�ves comme des r�surgences de l’inconscient dans la vie r�elle.
