Summary/Abstract: This article suggests the idea that any book about childhood implicitly operates/ induces a regression into a lost paradise, a personal Arcadia. In Romanian novels this appears as a natural, idealised place, as well as a mental space dedicated to love and a sensory space about images of taste and smell.
