Les lunettes de l���oncle Charles

Il s���agit de montrer comment le personnage semi-fictif de l���oncle Charles exprime diff��rents ��ges de la vie, �� la fois de sa propre vie, entre sa jeunesse dans le milieu artistique parisien et son retrait dans le domaine viticole du Midi, et de la vie de son neveu, qu���il accompagne comme une figure �� la fois tut��laire et ironique, de l���enfance �� l�����ge d���homme. Plus qu���un personnage r��aliste, il appara��t ainsi comme une figure du Temps et un double de l���auteur.
The aim is to show how the semi-fictional character of Uncle Charles expresses different ages of life, both in his own life, between his youth in the Parisian artistic milieu and his retreat in the wine-growing area of the Midi, and the life of his nephew, whom he accompanies as a figure both tutelary and ironic, from childhood to manhood. More than a realistic character, he thus appears as a figure of Time and a double of the author.
