Abstract

This paper attempts to reconstruct the use made by Laurent Binet’s most classical pattern of historical fiction and historiography to propose an uchronia tale in a another world’ scenario, where civilizations encounter occurs in a different way. Adopting uchronia as its basis, his novel Civilizations is analyzed in the light of current literary and historiographic approaches, as its nuanced plot spins at a multidimensional scale, to reveal also an original and genuine questioning about literature itself.
