Abstract:
Albert Camus and Romain Gary have in common to have placed the myth at the heart of
creative writing business. They tried to return his existential dimension to the literature by
integrating the power of mythic expression in the novel. The myth thus offers the opportunity
of an encounter between two works that may at first seem very different view. This research
precisely to connect thought and imagination of these writers to show how big the mythical
expression taken as literature, to finally see what was their conception of myth, how they
themed and incorporated in its various incarnations, in their respective works.
