IMAGINARY AS A KEY ELEMENT IN OCTAVIAN PALERʼS WRITINGS

Summary/Abstract: In the work of Octavian Paler the imaginary plays an important role, being a link between reality and inner life, between the wishes and beliefs of the writer, between what he is and what he seems to be. Interestingly, in his novels, largely confessions, the imaginary blends happily with the elements of the immediate reality, with the living in a tight universe and often difficult to decipher. Paler's reassuring moments in the mysterious areas of long past cultures and civilizations fit perfectly into the assumed imagined category. In his essays we encounter writer's imaginary speeches, imaginary letters to various distinguished historical personalities and not only. His parabolic novels during the political constraint period are under the sign of the imaginary. The imaginary represents the comfort zone Octavian Paler generously offers himself in his writings.
