Abstract :
[en] In 1872, Belgian naturalist writer Camille Lemonnier publishes "Un bon tour": a story inspired by two engravings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the Thin and the Fat Kitchen. At first glance, these grotesque engravings appear to be essentially comical, but they were probably motivated by the painter's social concern as well. Likewise, a close reading of Lemonnier's "fairy-tale with neither head nor tail" reveals how behind what seems to be a comical narrative at first, there lies a social dimension as well. Lemonnier wrote a critical satire on the opulent bourgeoisie.
