Abstract EN:

With les faux-monnayeurs, andre gide signs his only novel. He names his previous narrative works "recits" (l'immoraliste. La porte etroite, isabelle and la symphonie pastorale) or "soties" (paludes, le promethee mal enchaine, les caves du vatican), refusing to call them "novel" because these writings were "ironiques" and not "deconcentres". Studying the previously mentioned works, e understood how andre gide's novelistic poetics was elaborated from approximations and refusals, regarding the technical ways of expression the narrator gave his characters, the use of the autobiography, and the setting of reading in the very narrative thread.

Abstract FR:

Avec les faux-monnayeurs, andre gide signe son unique roman. Ses oeuvres narratives anterieures, il les nomme "recits" (l'immoraliste, la porte etroite, isabelle et la symphonie pastorale) ou "soties" (paludes, le promethee mal enchaine, les caves du vatican), leur refusant l'appellation "roman" dans la mesure ou ce sont des oeuvres "ironiques" et non "deconcentrees". L'etude des oeuvres citees nous a permis de comprendre comment la poetique romanesque d'andre gide s'est elaboree a partir d'approximations et de rejets quant aux modalites d'expression pretees aux personnages, a l'utilisation de l'autobiographie, et a la mise en scene de la lecture a l'interieur meme de l'oeuvre.
