La nourriture, élément décoratif dans les récits de voyage en Afrique de Théophile Gautier

Abstract

Théophile Gautier offers in these trips a discovery of different foreigners. It shows the fascination for the food. These are in fact dishes that he describes with realistic verve which is not without vocation as a painter. This creation is made possible by employing stylistic processes like accumulation and metaphor which all help to create a living and real setting.
