| description | In Journey to the Orient, published in 1851, Nerval adopts a way of travelling similar to his way of seeing. Placing his story on the cusp of “revelation literature”, the writer strives to portray preestablished travel images in a different way.

Bearer and defender of the notion of vision, the traveller also tries to demonstrate a travel ethic that is opposed to the conventions of the time. |
