When these flashbacks stretch for a long time, and gain some autonomy, they may form a real ‘narrative in a narrative’ (analepsis). It may happen, then, that the passé simple (past simple) takes over from the plus-que-parfait inside the analepsis. This article examines the environments and the conditions of this tense switching inside the analepsis.}, doi = {10.4467/20843917RC.18.006.9578}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/romanica-cracoviensia/artykul/une-figure-de-loubli-dans-la-narration-le-passe-simple-dans-les-analepses} }
