Résumé (en anglais)

This article explores Jean-Baptiste Andrea's novel Veiller sur elle from a semiotic angle, conveyed through narrative techniques such as symbols and stories within stories. Building on Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic triangle as a theoretical framework, this analysis reveals how symbols and imagery function as semiotic triggers that draw upon aspects of the human condition such as the quest for knowledge, the power of imagination, the contemplation of mortality, and the pursuit of artistic immortality and protection. This article shows how multifaceted layers of literary texts reveal universal human themes.
