PAVEL DAN OR THE "OBSESSION OF BIOGRAPHY"

Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims at a brief analysis of Pavel Dan's work, which led exegetes to fit him into the realism paradigm and in the sphere of autobiography. The writer of the Transylvanian plain, as we find him characterized in the history of Romanian literature, Pavel Dan draws his inner strength from remembering the icon of his native village, succeeding to transcend the suffering by giving it the innocent face of green fields and ancestral space. Writing represents for him an escape from the prison of his own suffering, although we will not find the confessional tone specific to his autobiographical works, the writer uses his personal experience to live up to social reality. Pavel Dan's literary approach proposes to the reader the show of a desacralized world that, through the imaginary, captures the abysses of a country man's existence.
