A Biblical Imaginary in ANATOLIDA by I. Heliade-Radulescu

Summary/Abstract: An important personality of Romanian culture from the 19th century, endowed with remarkable intelectual qualities, Ion Heliade Rădulescu desired to realize o modern Bible, starting from the cosmic vision of the Old Testament to the humanity of the New Testament. He composed the poem Anatolida (a symbolic title) aside Biblice from which he published five parts. A cosmogonic poem, Anatolida or Omul şi Forţele, published along tens of years (between 1840 and 1870), opened with Empireul and Tohu-Bobu which represented the vacuum state of the cosmos during the previous period of the creation. There can be noticed in analyzing Heliade’s thinking , the influence of the Italian philosopher G. Vico, after whom the fatal destiny ruled the humanity. Even if the poem showed a fail of consensus in the author’s social thinking, the poet tried to overcome the creation, not to imitate it.
