Abstract This paper aims to analyze the (post)communism era in Romania, as it is portrayed in the novels of Petru Cimpoeșu, Dan Lungu and Patrick McGuinness. The study wants to highlight three different perspectives on the communist regime, depending on the vision of each writer: the existential shades of gray, in the case of Cimpoesu’s novels, the nostalgia of Dan Lungu’s characters, but also the perception of the foreign eye on the totalitarian reality in our country, as for Patrick McGuinness. The paper also emphasizes the reasons why the literary theme of communism still arouses such great interest in contemporary literature and the importance of reading such works through the filter of the present.

Abstract This study aims to illustrate the original assimilation of style in Lucian Blaga’s philosophy. His concept (or idea) of style is developed from the Philosophy of style to the Trilogies, being tributary to the idealistic philosophy and to the Vienna School of Art History. Of course, this inspiration does not represent an innocent reading of different German studies. By invoking Alois Riegl’s “will of art” or Wilhelm Worringer’s dichotomy between “abstraction” and “empathy”, Blaga identifies the weaknesses from their work. Without giving up the contradictory and vulnerable aspects, he integrates and assimilates them in his philosophical and aesthetic system.

Abstract The present paper focuses on one of the most unique feelings specific to the romanian culture - „dorul”. It is an element that occurs in a variety of forms and offers deepness to some of the poet’s lyrical writings. Ideas like the union between the lovers, the melancholy for the lost aspects from the past, suffering and the willingness to reinforce the bond between the individual and the totality of the unharmed Universe are emphasized through „dor”. Because of its inevitable recurrence in life, we interpreted the meanings through a parallel with the motif of the road. Using different themes, motifs, symbols, figures of speech and techniques of construction, Lucian Blaga succeeds in creating an art in which the motif of „dor” appears as a manifestation of the heart, soul and spirit of the individual, as a desire to achieve the integrality of existence.

Abstract On the back cover of Andrei Dósa’s first novel, Ierbar, Alexandru Vakulovski, a Moldavian writer and literary critic, highlights the (possible) connection between the characters in Dósa’s text and the decadent (anti)heroes from Mateiu Caragiale’s Craii de Curtea-Veche. Proposing a lucid walk on the reading path opened by Vakulovski, the current paper aims to present a comparative study of the two novels published at a time distance of ninety years to explore the level of kinship on which the narrative actants from the mentioned books are positioned, as well as the similarities and differences of the social, political and economic context in which they are living.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the ways the same animals depicted in Lucian Blaga’s poetry and Vasile Voiculescu’s respectively are shaped based on comparison. On the one hand, the animals in Blaga’s works get a metaphorical pattern, while, on the other hand, those in Voiculescu’s poetry keep the ordinary meaning. While in Voiculescu’s case animals are part of the traditional setting, Blaga gives them symbolic and transcendental meanings.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to identify, in Lucian Blaga’s poetry, historical images of several foreign cultures, such as African, Indian and Ancient Greek. Starting from his outline from the Trilogy of Values, we will select poems where few dimensions of these three cultures are depicted. Even though they appear to be far from the Romanian stylistic matrix, key aspects of the historical cultural images compose a unique vision that imprint the structure of Blaga’s imaginary.

Abstract We often see contradictions in the works of a philosopher, these contradictions also appeared in Lucian Blaga’s epistemological system. This paper seeks to shed light on the cause of their appearance, to prove that they were not merely a mistake or an inconsistency on Blaga’s behalf, but the logical conclusion of the evolution of his epistemological system. A system cloaked in metaphor that was forced in the later stages to shed its poetic guise.

Abstract One of the most representative theme in the works of Lucian Blaga is knowledge and the way it is reflected in the unconscious. He is known for the different meanings given to this knowledge, proposing a new path for the understanding of everything around us, starting from the inner of human soul to the world genesis. This paper will show this specific process of Blaga, in one poem „Pax Magna”.

Abstract This article aims to review the anthology One Hundred and One Poems that includes a collection of poems and critical quotes selected by Alina Bako, who not only provides an overview of the lyrical universe created by Leonid Dimov, but also the critical tools needed for the specialized or non-specialized reader in order to step into the essence of Dimov’s creation. Thereby, the researcher contributes to the revival of the work of a poet who is still actual and valuable.
