Abstract

The gun duel was a constitutive element of the work of many Russian and French writers, reflecting its importance in the cultural history of both countries. The purpose of this article is to analyze how Ivan Turgenev and Gustave Flaubert used this theme in their works Fathers and sons and the Sentimental education. We intend to demonstrate that both writers, through the representation of the duel, sought to characterize the reality of his time.
