Summary/Abstract: "The Histories" from the murmur of reality-The author lived in a small town called - how you would expect - Târgu-Jiu. This is because Târgu-Jiu has embedded in his heart an Infinite Column which was also referred to as Axis Mundi, Centrum Mundi (at least Vasile Lovinescu and Mircea Eliade have demonstrated this clearly and precisely). One day - he had no idea yet - a Lesson went looking for Him. Meanwhile Some Scientists have developed a postmodern analogy between author and teacher, between text and lesson, respectively between readers and students. The text had, however, been denounced that it delimited itself from context, which was not exactly right, as in the murmur of reality there are millions of "histories". Reality itself had been seen as intertextual, a set of contextually read signs. Reading this text produces another text that is again interpretable. From a postmodern perspective, the meaning does not originate in the production of the text (by the author), but in its reception by the reader. But such a reader must not fall into the trap of epistemic egalitarianism that is obviously false. Nor should he be deceived that between emotion and reason there would have produced a serious "disagreement." Nothing can be imagined by the mind unless one has lived it first. The city where the author lived had a fabulous night life, after of course the day was consumed by bureaucratic institutions, by asphyxiating offices, by undesirable schools, by the few communistoceusist-type factories that had survived the industrial disaster in Romania in the period following the 1990 up until the 2000.
