碩士 === 淡江大學 === 法國語文學系碩士班 === 102 === The Nobel Prize laureate in Literature in 2008, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio wrote more than fifty books. I chose his novel Ritournelle de la faim as the object of study in order to find the meaning of“hunger”. This thesis includes three parts: the introduction, three chapters and the conclusion. In the introduction, I explain my motivation, the problematics of this research and the objective of this study. I examine also the comments and the researchs of Ritournelle de la faim. The three chapters of the thesis are: Le Clezio and his training, the structure of the novel and the hunger in relation to the characters.In the first chapter, I introduce the author before making a classification of the three main themes in the works of Le Clezio. Then I enumerate the indices corresponding to the real life of the writer before I finish the first chapter. In the second chapter, I analyze the structure of the novel in two steps: the whole text, and the main story which coincides with a music Bolero. I try to find the meaning of“hunger”in the third chapter by classifying the five genres of relationship among the characters according to their“hunger”.For my conclusion, I show the explanations of Le Clezio and my thinking of the meaning of "hunger".
