Summary/Abstract: THIS PAPER AIMS TO DISCUSS A SERIES OF SYMBOLS AND CONCEPTS ABOUT MAN AND LIFE THAT SADOVEANU INSERTS IN HIS NOVEL, NUNTA DOMNIȚEI RUXANDA. THE ROMANIAN WRITER EXPERIENCED A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGED ONCE HE ENTERED THE FREEMASONRY. ALTHOUGH THEY MAKE UP AN EXTREMELY INTERESTING UNIVERSE, THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY FORGOTTEN UNDER THE VEIL OF SILENCE. THE NOVEL NUNTA DOMNIȚEI RUXANDA HAS NOT BEEN DISCUSSED SO FAR THROUGH THE LENS PROVIDED BY THE MASONIC TEACHINGS WHOSE CORE, AS SADOVEANU TELLS US, RESIDES IN ESOTERICISM, THEIR DEEP MEANING THUS REMAINING HIDDEN. THIS PAPER AIMS TO HIGHLIGHT EXACTLY THOSE ELEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED OVER TIME.
