Abstract

In Belle du Seigneur, Albert Cohen describes the successive metamorphoses of Desire. At the beginning of the love affaire, pure desire unites the two lovers until they become one. Then, as time induces its traces into satisfied desire, the lovers awake to the awareness that their relationship has little by little become autistic, inwardly turned and self-sufficient. More than a novel about love, Belle du Seigneur is a novel depicting the attitude of those who have devoted their entire life to making happiness last inside the frozen time of Perfection.
