Mutaţiile omului modern în romanul Tatianei Tolstaia „Zâtul”
The mutations of modern man in Tatiana Tolstaia's novel "The Fairy"

Summary/Abstract: After a nuclear explosion, the world has returned to Stone Age. People suffering from various mutations struggle to survive and adapt themselves to the new living conditions. In her novel, Tatiana Tolstaia presents not only the physical mutations of the new generations, but even a more problematic aspect, their “spiritual mutations”. The present work aims to draw a parallel between the world as presented in the novel, and the real situation encountered today – the lack of cultural, moral and traditional values, which represent the actual “mutations” of the modern man. Analyzing social standards and various opinions of different specialists, the present work tries to identify the conflicts and the causes which might trigger a significant spiritual loss, due to the modern man’s ignorance, superficiality and indifference.
