Abstract EN:

When setting up a comparison between the maghreban novel in the french langage and the nouveau roman, we have constantly drawn upon the theoretical works of the "nouveaux romanciers" so as to study some of the narrative techniques adopted by kateb yacine in nedjma and rachid boudjedra in le demantelement. The evolution that the novel has undergone in the 20th century and the social and political situation spotted by the malaise which predominated france and the maghreb have made this bridging possible. Maghreban writer's use of french as a medium has not only heped them avoid the timeconsuming effort of experimentation but also acquiere an alreaudy-established literary genre. Hence, we have fore-grounded 3 aspects: "the book as a object", that is the self-referential nature and the formal aspect of the book, the distracting effect on the narrative of description, repetition and transformation, and finally the regular interruption of the narrative by the rhetorical aspect of character portrayal, and of time and space. The study of these aspects has show similarities and differences, for if the maghreban writers of french expression want to depict the real, the "nouveaux romanciers" confine them selves to the "adventure of wrinting".
