Summary/Abstract: The Minulescian epic work remained in the shadow of poetry, being ignored by literary critics and published much less than the lyrical one. Because of this, the prose was not valued, it was not brought into the spotlight of the readers and it was not given its true value at the time of its publication according to the comments, specialized analyzes. Ion Minulescu has taken steps since the beginning of the symbolist movement to popularize this current through aesthetic refinement in his poems, short stories, sketches and novels. The minulescian epic imagination accepts libertinism, indiscretion, spiciness, sociability, the pleasure of conversation, exoticism, eroticism and the instability of feelings, traits that become dominant in his prose.
