ABSTRACT:
Dounia, between Nostalgia and Melancholia (Le Bonheur a la queue glissante d’Abla Farhoud). The aim of this article is to analyze the novel Le Bonheur a la queue glissante written by Abla Farhoud (a Canadian writer of Lebanese origins) by following a two-way sentimental pattern: nostalgia and melancholia. We are of the opinion that these feelings are an indelible characteristic of this autobiographic novel which tells us the story of a Lebanese woman who has always lived with the feeling of being an eternal immigrant. Nevertheless, the writing process, which is a nostalgic one aimed to recover a lost paradise, cannot be understood as part of melancholia. Regarding the latter, we further analyze its sources and ways of manifestation.

Keywords: Abla Farhoud, nostalgia, melancholia, autobiographic novel, migrant literature.
