Summary/Abstract: In the present article we aim to to emphasize the significance of nature, as a privileged space in Sadoveanu's short stories collection ″Țara de dincolo de negură″. First of all, we will focus on the theories of nature and space, referring to autochthonism. Thus, the theoretical frame of the article will be based on ideas found in the studies of Lucian Blaga and Ernest Bernea. On the other hand, we will reveal the significance of nature, as a space of loneliness, solitude, silence and refuge. The meaning of these spaces can only be revealed if the human being reaches the initiate statute. In this way, Sadoveanu, the poet of nature, describes a nature seen as a kingdom, where unwritten laws must be understood and respected.
