Tozgrec de Ioan Petru Culianu sau labirintul interpretării
Tozgrec Written by Ioan Petru Culianu or the Labyrinth of Interpretation

Summary/Abstract: The unfinished novel Tozgrec represents the most mysterious literary creation written by Ioan Petru Culianu, an uncomfortable writer whose specific pattern cannot only be rendered through the traditional theories of narration or through the ordinary investigation instruments of fantastic literature. This speculative type of narration combines gnostic myths, religious belief as well as scientific thesis in order to create a complicated puzzle for ”(re)reading”. Mythocriticism, „mind games” theory or the novel conceived as a knowledge instrument are possible paths of interpretation for this textual labyrinth that mainly elaborates the theme of magic and of the control stressed on individuals. Tozgrec represents a meditation on existence and on the world, and it anticipates a warning related to the dark future of humanity.
