Abstract
this essay brings forward a review of the novel as an autonomous art form, transverse to history and suitable to current aesthetic sensibility. With references to the work of Jean luc Nancy, the first part includes a historical analysis of the most representative novels revealing Presence as one of its fundamental characteristic. the second part examines social criticism as a trait of its own. this criticism reveals as a response to a distinguishing impulse: an open search of the internal logics of human condition, which is already in itself an experience of community.Downloads
