Literary notes about Recherche (AI summary)
The term "recherche" in literature functions on several levels. On one hand, it designates the act of investigation or systematic inquiry, as seen when it refers to academic search in linguistic and historical contexts [1] [2] [3] [4]. On the other hand, it conveys an aura of refinement and intentional selectiveness in style—a quality that denotes an air of erudition or deliberate sophistication, sometimes even bordering on irony [5] [6] [7] [8]. Moreover, its usage in titles and narratives often signals an adventurous quest or the pursuit of elusive truths, adding a layer of intrigue to the text [9] [10] [11].
