Abstract: It seems possible considering that there is a tight relation between field-of-view restriction in the narrative and division of labour. Division of labour would be a concept to describe the situation of the novelist, to evaluate the status of descriptions in his works, and then the fictionnal effects of field-of-view restriction. We try to discuss such homology within the example of a novel by Jules Verne where the division of labour encounters fictionnal effects of field-of-view restriction.
