Summary/Abstract: The present paper will discuss the role played by the novel „Lumina ce se stinge” in the whole opera content of the writer Mircea Eliade. We are trying to show how the theme of mythical pattern (that the historian of religions Mircea Eliade was preoccupied with) is transferred in the fictional world of his early literature. This type of literature will become very common for the writer in the periode of his exile in France and United States of America. This novel is considered to be the predecessor of the new literary formula developped by Mircea Eliade, a literature that has in his center the myth as the principal way of being and acting in the world.
