Summary/Abstract: The present work has been carried out based on the desire to return to Calistrat Hogaş’s work, an authentic one, of a unique style in the Romanian literature, rediscovering, thus, a writer risking to fall in undeserved obscurity. Therefore, the present study aims at revealing the ways Calistrat Hogaş used in managing to turn memorialistic literature into great art. The fine sense of beauty and artistic virtuosity in the field of figurative speech, on the one hand, and the eternal, majestic thrill of nature and its projection in the universal culture, up to the great myths of humanity, on the other hand, joined to this purpose. This work underlines, once again, the fact that Hogaş’s work depicts a world open to anyone wanting to know it, he himself being the guide, in a real space and in mythical times.
