    The text offers a reading of sociocultural and literary phenomena, unfolding in the French Belle Époque, based on the uses of the bucolic code and the transcriptions of the pastoral. I analyze the production of new bucolic loci, as well as the multiplicity of their meanings / significations that shape through their deployment in the registers of high and popular culture alike and in the phenomena generated by the interaction between them.

    The paper focuses on Julian Barnes recent book “The Man in the Red Coat” (2019) with the concern of exploring the interrelatedness of Belle Époque with the idea of joie de vivre. The analytical observations are contextualized against the backdrop of the occurrence and historical development of the notion joie de vivre and of certain corresponding literary thematizations.
