L’Apocalypse selon Jean Giono: du "Grand Troupeau" au "Grand Théâtre"
Abstract
Dans cet article nous chercherons à comprendre quel était pour Jean Giono le véritable sens de l’Apocalypse depuis l’analyse d’un de ses premiers romans Le Grand Troupeau jusqu’à l’un de ses textes les plus récents et pourtant moins connu, Le Grand Théâtre; texte qui, par ailleurs, répond à une commande de Joseph Foret en vue de la publication d’une édition de prestige de l’Apocalypse de Saint Jean. Nous verrons comment Jean Giono nous présente sa vision particulière de l’Apocalypse du Grand Troupeau au Grand Théâtre, faisant de l’homme et de son destin le centre de sa recherche et de sa réflexion. Tout au long de notre étude nous ne manquerons pas de souligner l’importance de la figure paternelle dans la réflexion gionesque, figure omniprésente dans Le Grand Théâtre et porteuse de la connaissance du texte biblique.

We’ll seehow Jean Giono presents his personal vision of the Apocalypse from To The Slaughterhouse to Le Grand Théâtre, considering man and his destiny as the centre ofhis research and reflection. Throughout our study we will not fail to emphasize on themeaning of the father figure in the gionesque thinking, omnipresent in Le Grand Théâtre and the bearer of the knowledge of the biblical text.
