Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to examine the image of the city in Cezar Petrescu’s novels – Calea Victoriei and Oraș Patriarhal. We will focus on the powerful influence which the environment exerts on the characters. Once they enter the city's space, a negative transformation occurs. In Cezar Petrescu's novels, the urban space remains, due to the absence of moral values, a destructive monster.
