The landscape, in Le Maître de chasse, is first of all an external landscape that nevertheless allows access to the inner world of the characters. Then, it is the poetic landscape that is constructed by association and contiguity to offer a place of freedom which is in contrast to the places of political oppression. As a manifestation of historical truth, the landscape occupies the space of silence and the unheard-of political and social reality of postcolonial Algeria.
