Summary/Abstract: Radu Tudoran began his literary career in a time of political and social upheaval. After a promising debut with a short-story book, he published three novels that comprise the most important themes of his work: sensuality, love, innocence and the eternal feminine; Nadia, Manuela and Copila shape a typology marked by self-abandonment, a contrast between ingenuity and femininity and ebullient magnetism. Forced by the circumstances, Tudoran had to conciliate his literary concerns with his military obligations, but even so, the influence of the war could not be felt in his works, as he kept writing in the style that had been established as his own and focusing not on battlefields, but on the everlasting mystery of the sky, the sea or the human spirit.
