Summary/Abstract: The novel „Cei doi din dreptul Țebei” by D. R. Popescu, published in 1973, reproduces Romeo and Juliet’s story in a Transylvanian countryside surprised by the Communist regime. Dumitru Radu Popescu, one of the most important writers of the sixties, develops his epic text based on the formula of multiple epic. The confession is a masked one, a kind of confession in absentia or an anticonfession, linked to the theme of love. Each character has the role of confessing and ambiguating the epic. Characters neither stagnate, nor evolve, nor they engage; they do not change. Psychologically, they do not transmit any morality or immorality. Speech is the one that grants them in motion the chance to narrate and reveal themselves.
