LA ȚIGĂNCI - PARABOLĂ FILOSOFICĂ A RATĂRII TOTALE
LA ȚIGĂNCI - PHILOSOPHICAL PARABLE OF A TOTAL FAILURE

Summary/Abstract: In this article, I analyzed La țigănci short story, by Mircea Eliade, in terms of Platonic myths. From this perspective, Gavrilescu crosses a rite of passing over, through which would have succeeded the much wanted liberation of the human condition. He misses this initiation though because he remains tributary to some truths that do not belong to him, to some human and social pre-judgments that prevent him from living his life according his destiny of an artist. This short story catches Eliade’s pessimism regarding the capacity of the uninitiated human to wake up and free himself in life, in the absence of an initiated one.
