Summary/Abstract: Liliana Lazar is a small-village Romanian writer from Iaşi county. She leaves Romania after graduating from university, but her homeland still greatly impacts her writing. This paper aims to review and analyse the events taking place in the two novels she has published so far. In so doing, we hope to be able to decide if the image of Romania and the Romanian people, as depicted in her work, is positive or negative, and whether the data is historically accurate. Also, the paper tries to establish the author’s sources of inspiration and see the extent to which she borrows symbols and signs from, among others, Mircea Eliade.
