| Abstract: | The Island, even the exotic one, is so present in our days and imaginary that has become familiar. We rarely think about the many aspects of the island itself and the human condition that derive from here: Ulysses, for example, is from this perspective the island man, but also traveller by sea, the castaway and, almost as every islander, the sailor. The islands look like gardens, first of all, because both are clearly demarcated areas – by water, by a compass (fence, garden). Spatial demarcation apparently induces the conceptual demarcation (the island forced us to decide if the wheat is white or black) and also refining the criteria. In the Meteors of Michael Tournier the island is such a settler. Originally appeared as a twin paradigm (Venice), the island, in conjunction with the garden, becomes a paradigm of the world, traveling from island to island, proved to be for Paul an initiation journey in the world and his inner self. |
