Romain Gary From the Perspective of Eco-criticism

Many of Romain Gary’s literary works are imbued with his thoughts on western modern civilization and eco-crisis, showcasing the conflicts and opposing relationships between men and women, and between humans and nature under western dualism. Through criticism of anthropocentrism and materialism, his writings uncover the patriarchal ruling logic that leads to the dual oppression of women and nature. With the portray of the only female image, he reveals the value of women’s dual redemption in their struggle against oppression of the male dominated society, their affinity to nature, protection of nature, as well as the ideological and cultural roots that bring about the current eco-crisis and civilization crisis. In connection with protagonists’ affinity and return to nature, he sheds light on the ecological road to the rebuilding of the harmony and balance between man and nature.
