Le Passe-Muraille.

Rue Norvins.

Sculpture de Jean Marais représentant Marcel Aymé, auteur de la nouvelle fantastique « Le Passe-Muraille » (1941). La nouvelle raconte les pérégrinations d’un homme qui, un jour, découvre qu’il a le pouvoir de traverser les murs sans dommage, ni pour lui, ni pour les murs.
Il dévalise facilement les banques, passant à travers les coffre-forts, mais comme la police ne trouve aucun indice il n’est pas inquiété. Pour se faire valoir vis-à-vis de ses collègues de bureau il se fait arrêter mais passe facilement à travers les murs de sa cellule…Suivent d’autres aventures, mais, finalement il perd ce don alors qu’il traverse un mur à Montmartre et demeure prisonnier à jamais…


The wall-passing man.

Sculpture by Jean Marais representing Marcel Aymé, author of the fantastic novel «Le Passe-Muraille» (1941). The story tells of the pilgrimage of a man who one day discovers that he has the power to walk through the walls without damage, neither for himself nor for the walls.
He easily robs banks, passing through the safes, but as the police find no clue he is not worried. To make himself known vis-à-vis his office colleagues he gets arrested but easily passes through the walls of his cell… There are other adventures to follow, but in the end he loses this gift as he crosses a wall in Montmartre and remains a prisoner forever.
