Heurs et malheurs du Congo dans les romans d’In Koli Jean Bofane : Mathématiques congolaises et Congo Inc. Le testament de Bismarck
2025
Overview
This article examines two Congolese novels by In Koli Jean Bofane: Mathématiques congolaises (2008) and Congo Inc. Bismarck's Testament (2014). Their study reveals that the writer makes empathy a narratological and ethical foundation of his writing, with the objective of informing the reader of the socio-political situation of Congo, of making him aware of the tragedy experienced by the Congolese and of encouraging action in their favor. It achieves this objective by two methods: by the presentation of scenes of extreme violence (political, sexual, economic and social) which deeply affect the reader and inspire feelings (pity, compassion, anguish, indignation, anger or guilt) and by the presentation of natural beauties, traditions and Congolese customs, that is to say local particularities which fascinate the reader and awaken his desire to protect this beautiful country and its inhabitants.
