Rătăcind între două lumi sau întoarcerea imposibilă
Wandering Between Two Worlds or the Impossible Return

Summary/Abstract: Studying the novels Lucarna (The Light), Pusta (The Hungarian steppe) and Sophia written by Silvia Beldiman, our intention is to offer to the literature lovers the image of two worlds, the world of the traditional village and the world of the city. The image of the village is isolated by the song that accompanies the main character of the novels all her life, her road from the native house to the small town she will never feel accustomed to. The universes are separated by Mures River, with its water that is gentle when observed from the shore, but in reality so shallow and fast. The little house on the hill, the first universe of the character, is a refuge with consonant oneiric values, as Gaston Bachelard states in The Poetic of Space. He shows the old residences never disappear and are relived as reveries. The house is an enormous cradle in dreams and the cradle “swoops” the being into the world. The destiny of a being suspended between worlds appears after the little girl is living with the parents toward a new life, where accommodation is on stages. She cannot live inside the urban environment where everything is related to daydream, but either cannot turn back to the dear places of the childhood, which are transformed by time, the evolution and involution of the world.
