Abstracts

This article analyses the image of Africa presented in Le Clézio’s novels. The author claims that a part of childhood spent in Africa determined Le Clézio as a man and writer. This experience inspired him to write two novels: Onitsha and The African creating Africa as a place of infinite freedom that puts an end to fear imposed by the war.
