Summary/Abstract: The lush subject of Donna Alba's novel is achieved through a subtle play of the most diverse possibilities, combining the sensational element with psychological intuition. With a picaresque existence, former combatant from the First World War, Mihail Aspru aspires after a chimera, Donna Alba, symbol of the intangible, aristocratic class, on the name of the concrete existence, less interesting, Alba Șerban, wife of a royal descendant, great lawyer of Bucharest elite. To charm her, Aspru carries out a meticulous strategy, sometimes utopian, sometimes realistic, but always well managed and tense.
