Professor and literary critic practicing in Cairo (1952-1959), Gabriel Bounoure takes Nerval as a guide to the « Egyptian soul » but also as a privileged interlocutor of the resistance of the poets of the 1950s into a world dominated by the techniques and the loss of meaning. He becomes the exegete of the Nervalian destiny, through the analysis of a relic brought back from Nerval’s real and spiritual journey to Egypt, interpreted as a sign of an experience of supernaturalist poetic transfiguration.
