Center and Periphery. The Interwar Transylvanian Prose

Summary/Abstract: In the article entitled Center and periphery. The interwar Transylvanian prose we aimed to highlight the main thematic areas of the interwar Transylvanian prose, represented by Ion Agârbiceanu, Liviu Rebreanu and Pavel Dan, writers who constituted distinct landmarks in the evolution of Romanian prose, through theme, style and importance of evoking reality. In the first decade after the First World War, the literary life in Transylvania is authoritatively dominated by three prose writers: Ion Agârbiceanu, Liviu Rebreanu and Pavel Dan, writers who each expressed a part of the Transylvanian spirit identity, embodying a stage of the integration process in the horizon of Romanian literature. Representing, in a realistic and objective spirit, the existence of the peasants, the prose writers Ion Agârbiceanu, Liviu Rebreanu, Pavel Dan seek to reveal the human in all its manifestations and avatars, with the challenges, aspirations and sufferings inherent in the human condition, with the traumas of death and disease, with illusions and his frustrations, but also with the repeated danger of moral decay, of ethical compromise, aspects that these writers examine with revealing interest and clarity, from which arises an underlying metaphysical vibration, coming from the epic debate of the relationship between real and ideally, between the center and the periphery, between the aspiration for happiness and the threat of dehumanization, which individuals must remove through resistance and moral accuracy, through a balanced and dignified conduct.
