  The heroes of Le Clezio novels escape from themselves and the unfavorable conditions around them each in some way; an escape not for reaching the pleasant materialistic and living conditions rather they wish wholeheartedly to return to their own essence & origin – to their source and first home i.e. their own "self". And by this excuse they wish again to find refugee in the origins from which they had escaped. The identity crisis is one of the main axis of all Le Clezio's novels. The heroes of his novels hate their alien identity and the mask which wear on their face and are looking for their real identity each in some way. In the present paper, we try to fall in step with "Lalla", the hero of "Desert"; and we enter her world with herself. She who is annoyed, sick and tired of living amidst the stone, steel and asphalt, busy streets, high buildings and skyscrapers finds the only way of freedom and peace in returning to the desert. By studying the feelings, memories and loneliness of the hero and other characters and their sorrow in exile, we understand the concept of "escape from oneself" for them. It's noteworthy that today returning to the self is one of the important issues for the thinkers and researchers. In this query we try to examine different aspects of "Escape" for Le Clezio especially in his novel "Desert". Manuscript profile

  The power of imagination and storytelling is one of the means for expressing man's historical and biological riddles. Since the beginning of human imagination and the moment of literary creation, the relationship between literature and myth has always existed. Documentaries and fictional records provide the opportunity to reconstruct historical and mythical phenomena and to analyze psychological concepts. The twentieth-century writers, including Gustave Le Clézio, put forward their ideas in imaginative and realistic contexts; these contexts carry the perceptual and historical features that are collectively achievable. By re-reading some Jungian archetypes, such as persona, anima, animus, sage, shadow, back to oneself and birth, Le Clézio relied a large part of his writing on the collective conscious and myths, and could depict the deepest layers and latent myths of human psyche along with individual and natural elements in the fictional and imaginative world. The process of individuality and the movement of his fictional characters are also formed alongside this fictional world. Hence, the narrative structure of his stories presents a symbolic psychological system that is defined in the context of history and myth. The aim of the present article is to identify this psychological system along with Jungian archetypes in three works of Le Clézio, Desert, The Prospector and The Book of Flights. Manuscript profile

    The myth of "Noble Savage" was shaped with the discovery and conquest of America. Although the phrase first appeared in the sixteenth century, it became identified with the idealized picture of "nature's gentleman". The term "Noble Savage" refers to the concept of the natural man, unencumbered by either civilization or religion. After a lengthy sojourn with Indians in the rain forests of Panama, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio (born 13 April 1940), French author and the 2008 Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature, portrayed the Indians and criticized  modernity and mechanized Western civilization. The present article, by analyzing the origin of the myth of "Noble Savage", studies the works of Le Clézio.       Manuscript profile
