Summary/Abstract: This dictionary card is part of The Dictionary of the Literary Characters from Mihail Sebastian’s theatre, coordinated by the univ. prof. Constantin Cublesan, that will be printed at Hassefer Publishing House, Bucharest. Manuel B. Manuel is one of the three main characters of the play “the Island”, characters behaving as a whole and completing each other. The three heroes are three faces of the Creator continuously crushed by the game between appearance and essence, by what he wanted to be and what he really was in reality.
