Through a series of notes about Une promenade de Bélial, a philosophical tale from Alfred Le Poittevin, this paper aims to give a few elements to enlighten the “mysticism of style” according to Flaubert. Hence, the notion of metempsychosis, central point of the text, and the notion of “conatus” due to Spinoza, a common reference to Alfred and Gustave, shall be examined.
