«Ideal under cover of electricity». Apropos Villiers de l’Isle-Adam’s L’Ève future
Abstract
The article discusses an extremely idealistic message of the 1886 novel L ’Ève future by Villiers de l’lsle-Adam. The motif of an artificial woman constructed by a genius scientist is a pretext for philosophical
and metaphysical meditation on human fate, an attempt to reach - through art - the deepest mysteries of
the spiritual world set against shallow visible reality. The subject matter and rhetorics of the work is an
expressive illustration of symbolism in the field of French novel.
