Summary/Abstract: The work of Pavel Dan is, to a large extent, also an ethnographic picture of the realities in the rural Transylvanian community, the writer being a good and careful connoisseur of the realities of the time in which he lived, of the details of the rural life, giving us an important testimony on evolution, transformations and social and moral avatars of the Romanian village of Transylvania, even though, as has been said, his prose is one focused on the tribulations of individuality, not on the reactions and manifestations of the crowd. Pavel Dan is the one who described some anxieties, disturbances and tensions of the conscience of the Transylvanian peasant ignored by previous literature, the writer highlighting complex and contradictory affective mechanisms and evolutions.
