Summary/Abstract: „Proză II” is the second posthum version written by Anton Cosma, which looks like it introduces us to a less common world. Both the real and fantasy elements stand out through the means of 8 short stories that are themselves included in chapter "Povestiri din lumi paralele". With this occasion the volume is a representation of the fantastic way of thinking in the 70's (in the seventeens), but also a likewise conversion of the author's experiences, described in the beginning of the chapter, leading us to empathize with him more. The association between the real and fantasy world takes the form of spiritualism, the reason why the characters are in a fight with themselves, the reality - being explained scientifically - does not go along with the fictional events.
