Summary/Abstract: The two writers are very much alike, in their biographies and in the way they see the literary work, as a mean to escape, as a virtual place of truthfulness, of authentic values in the middle of a world of painful perfidious realities. They offer their characters an embelished fictional life, rich in hopeful dreams, directed by an unleashed imagination, sometimes close to pathological extremes. They choose to give a name to their characters permanent search for happiness; it is the generic theme which will finally reveal the subliminal part of the text: the call for innocence.
