HORIA LOVINESCU’S JOCUL VIEȚII ȘI AL MORȚII ÎN DEȘERTUL DE CENUȘĂ OR THE PERPETUAL DISINTEGRATION
HORIA LOVINESCU´S ASHEN DESERT OR THE MYTH OF PERPETUAL DISINTEGRATION OF PARADISE

Summary/Abstract: The present paper brings into discussion ”Jocul vieţii şi al morţii în deşertul de cenuşă” (The Game of Life and Death in the Ashen Desert), play that is a reference point in Horia Lovinescu’s drama, having many symbols, metaphors and labyrinthine characters. Having a starting point in the Biblical myth of Cain and Abel, Horia Lovinescu imagines a complex universe which, in order to survive, requires the presence of both brothers. The created universe appears more like an evil, backwards clone of the Biblical Eden. The general end and the beginning of a world. It is an uncertain situation maintained along the action of the play going even beyond it.
