This article is a reading focused on several aspects of the Baroque mosaic of "artistic, historical and critical memoirs" of Nicolae Filimon, reflected in Excursions to Meridional Germany. Started on the road with the intention of a precise cultural practice, the writer experienced, like his predecessors, the clash between civilizations. The author records aspects of the way of life (traditions, morals), sketches portraits, informs about places, except that his writing does not lack comments, including comparative ones, that critically highlight the differences between civilizations, morals and mentalities between the Western world and the world left at the gates of the East. There is highlighted what the traveler-writer believes to be the specific way of foreigners to manifest as a compact, unitary category through behaviors that fall within the sphere of stereotypes. During the process of approaching Western Europe, in parallel with the discovery of national identity, the months spent in the West gave him, in political, social, economic, moral and cultural terms, completely instructive confrontations with what the Other represents.

The work of Pavel Dan is, to a large extent, also an ethnographic picture of the realities in the rural Transylvanian community, the writer being a good and careful connoisseur of the realities of the time in which he lived, of the details of the rural life, giving us an important testimony on evolution, transformations and social and moral avatars of the Romanian village of Transylvania, even though, as has been said, his prose is one focused on the tribulations of individuality, not on the reactions and manifestations of the crowd. Pavel Dan is the one who described some anxieties, disturbances and tensions of the conscience of the Transylvanian peasant ignored by previous literature, the writer highlighting complex and contradictory affective mechanisms and evolutions.

The co-creator of SchulzFest writes about tomorrow – ensconced in yesterday and for this reason emerging from the latter. The text contains intermingled motifs connected with the texts: Wiosna (Spring) and Druga jesień (Second Autumn) by Bruno Schulz as well as the Second Autumn literary-artistic project organised for the past twenty years in Drohobych upon the anniversary of the writer’s death. Wiera Meniok also mentions the tomorrow of another, meta-Schulzian Second Autumn and “Acta Schulziana” dedicated to Schulz, whose particular volumes she discusses in detail.
