ANDROGINIA CA MANIFESTARE BOVARICĂ ÎN ROMANUL PUPA RUSSA
Androgynism as a Bovaric manifestation in the novel „Pupa russa”

Summary/Abstract: Pupa russa is a male’s novel having a female protagonsit; thus, Gheorghe Crăciun is another Gustave Flaubert awarding himself a womanish identity through the power of fiction, an androginous being retrieving, by means of literary creation, his long-lost half. Under these circumstances, the present paper tries to reveal the positive valency of the bovaric phenomenon, as androginous manifestation: the novelist, an intelectual male obsessed with the frailty and precarious condition of human life, too short and incosistent to be relevant, completes himself with a more abiding existence, living Leontina’s bookish life. Therefore, bovarism is not only a pathological disabilitating disruption, but also a sanitary unification, a rescuing self-completion, that makes the individual stronger and tougher in hist fight against time.
