Si L&rsquo;An 2440 a &eacute;clips&eacute; ce conte fantaisiste qui d&eacute;daigne toute forme de vraisemblance, nous souhaitons r&eacute;habiliter&nbsp;ce dernier : le r&eacute;cit est un fantasme assum&eacute; qui se propose de propager le mouvement enthousiaste pour la justice. Moteur de l&rsquo;utopie, il lui donne son &eacute;lan, se communique au lecteur ; cette &eacute;nergie traverse le h&eacute;ros-l&eacute;gislateur, se diffuse dans le corps social avant de s&rsquo;&eacute;puiser dans une voix sans corps.</p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>Mots-cl&eacute;.</strong> Utopie, Louis-S&eacute;bastien Mercier, Enthousiasme, Visions, H&eacute;ros-l&eacute;gislateur.</p> <p align="JUSTIFY">&nbsp;</p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><strong><span lang="en-US">H&eacute;l&egrave;ne David, &laquo;&nbsp;Louis-S&eacute;bastien Mercier's utopia of </span><em><span lang="en-US">L&rsquo;Homme de fer </span></em><span lang="en-US">(1786)&nbsp;: giving form to the enthusiasm&nbsp;&raquo;.</span></strong></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span lang="en-US"><strong>Abstract.</strong>&nbsp;</span><span lang="en-US">This paper examines the literary utopia of </span><em><span lang="en-US">L&rsquo;Homme de fer</span></em><span lang="en-US"> (1788) as an ephemeral hallucination resulting from an enthusiastic experience, a shock that is a symptom of a pathological state.

Nevertheless this naive, not to say childish opening scene allows a wave of enthusiastic energy to be released, to pervade the whole utopian society and to be transmitted to the reader, until it&rsquo;s exhausted into a disembodies voice.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>Keywords.</strong> Utopia, Louis-S&eacute;bastien Mercier, Enthusiasm, Visions, Hero-legislator.</p> <p align="JUSTIFY">&nbsp;</p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>H&eacute;l&egrave;ne David, &laquo;&nbsp;L&rsquo;utopia de L&rsquo;Homme de fer di Louis-S&eacute;bastien Mercier (1786)&nbsp;: dare forma all&rsquo;entusiasmo&nbsp;&raquo;.</strong></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>Sintesi.</strong>&nbsp;Questo articolo si propone d&rsquo;interpretare l&rsquo;utopia de <em>L&rsquo;Homme de fer</em> di Louis-S&eacute;bastien Mercier (1788) in quanto allucinazione effimera derivata da un eccesso di entusiasmo.
