Lokis. A Manuscript of Professor Wittembach (French: Lokis - Le manuscrit du professeur Wittembach) is an 1869 Prosper Mérimée horror fantasy novella. It was one of the last stories by Mérimée, started in July 1868 and published in the Revue des deux Mondes in September 1869. The title is a misspelling of the Lithuanian word lokys for "bear". The plot revolves around a young man who is suspected to be half-human half-bear. Robin MacKenzie from University of St Andrews classifies the plot into a werewolf theme with some elements of vampirism (the motif of drinking blood repeats through the work). The novella primarily deals with the dual nature of human–beast. It also contrasts Western education and Christianity with pagan Lithuanian rituals and beliefs, on more broadly – cultured civiliza

  • Lokis est une nouvelle fantastique de Prosper Mérimée parue le 15 septembre 1869 dans la Revue des Deux Mondes sous le titre Le Manuscrit du professeur Wittembach. Il s'agit de la dernière nouvelle parue du vivant de l'écrivain français mort en 1870. S'inspirant d'une légende lituanienne, elle relate le séjour d'un philologue prussien dans un château où il découvre peu à peu la nature trouble de son hôte, dont le lecteur doit comprendre qu'il est le fruit du viol d'une femme par un ours. Selon l'historien Michel Pastoureau, il s'agit d'une des plus belles nouvelles de la littérature française du XIXe siècle. (fr)
