Summary/Abstract: Vintilă Horia's novel God was born in exile seems to be written from the perspective of a refusal of history, of an opening to imagination and esoterism, to the detriment of a positive valorisation of the facts of the immediate reality. Fiction is thus the one that legitimizes Ovid's existential adventure, the one that certifies his resistance to an annihilated and aggressive History. In this novel, we are witnesses of a spiritual metamorphosis, of a spiritual catabathic itinerary, whereby the retransmission in the values of esotericism and self, as well as the understanding of the meanings of existence, is the guarantee of sacrificial death and symbolic resurrection.
