WANDERING IN THE MIRROR, OR REDISCOVERING NARCIS
WANDERING IN THE MIRROR, OR REDISCOVERING NARCIS

Summary/Abstract: Being a writer who resides in an inner Arcadia, O. Paler creates true mythological scenarios, in which characters like Narcis become credible from a new axiological perspective. Without using scientific searching instruments, regarding tracing this extramundane space (populated by mythological heroes, gods and goddesses), the author of "Self-Portrait in a Broken Mirror", appeals to a book props with surprising allusions and interpretations that arouse the reader's interest, recalibrating the narrative-confessional texture. Obsessed by Narcis image, "the slandered Narcis", the essayist passionately mixes a time of recognition and reconsideration of deeply human truths. The deep message of this thinker "sui generis" leads us to the "hypocrisy and modesty" of a world unable to manage a "minimum morality" , having instead authoritarian reflexes exhibited in extreme situations, when they have to protect their so-called interests of ... caste.
