Abstract
This chapter focuses on Durocher's prose work La Foire de Don Quichotte, originally written in Polish at the end of the 1930s, rewritten from memory and published in French in 1953 and subsequently revised on a number of occasions. The study consciously marginalizes the more spiritual aspects of the text in order to analyze the underbelly of humanity insisted upon by Durocher through a complex narrative combination involving a penniless philosophy student, the figures of Don Quichotte and his sidekick Sancho Panza, and the diabolical Belzébuth.
