Summary/Abstract: Building on the statement of the French historian Pierre Nora, according to whom the collective memory of a group crystallizes around certain places, the present paper goes beyond the Sadovenian (re)writing through the (re)confirmation of a truth that could never be challenged: history repeates itself. Mihail Sadoveanu, who is tormented by the obsession of transformation, does not ignore the images of Iași, through the transition from individual memory to collective memory, places of memory.
