Abstract :
Albert Camus reflects Algeria s position during its struggle for independence, in his graphic novel The Guest (L Hôte), part of a collection entitled Exile and the Kingdom (L Exil et le royaume), which tells the story of a teacher, Daru, living in a mountain village. In 2013, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Albert Camus, this short story, which shows some self-criticism, has been re-offered to readers by Ferranzdez as a graphic novel. Story and comic book: these two narrative texts have not only formal but also contextual differences. Our Comparative study aims to demonstrate how a linear and colorful fiction provides interest in a story, by underlining sensorial and reactional descriptions and interpreting the lines accompanying literary text.
