Din aventura unei vechi teme literare europene de sorginte biblică: viaţa e vis
From the adventures of an ancient European literary theme of biblical origin: Life is a Dream

Summary/Abstract: This study of Ovidiu Moceanu is part of a broader research on dream issues, published in 2012 in the volume Treatise on dream. The author examines the metamorphosis of a literary theme whose implications in European literature are seen today in some experiences regarding the possibilities brought by dreams of manipulating the characters consciousness, of constructing the literary discourse. Don Pedro Calderón de la Barca, with his Life is a Dream, launched a formula which echoes throughout Europe. There are analyzed examples from the works of European romantics, whose experiences gave rise to the popular novels of the era of post-romantics, as well as some modern literary directions and trends focusing on the dream.
