Summary/Abstract: Gabriela Melinescu’s prose is structured around a series of opposite thematic pairs: here/there, me/other, identity/alterity, love vs loneliness that highlights the duality of sampling a new space and giving vitality to the past, referring to the adaptability, language, social and cultural activities. First opposite thematic pair is: Romania vs. Sweden. These two countries are not just different geographic areas, they are defined in the rhythm of their real and oniric viewing and enrich their meanings by incorporating the experiences of the author. The creation becomes obsessive from the first page of volume I to the last page of the V volume. The writing, the writer, the act of creation, and the work of a writer are defined in various forms in an attempt to discover the most appropriate scriptural representation of these concepts. All against the background of an antithesis between the East and the West of Europe.
