Summary/Abstract: The Labyrinth confirms the human need to constantly reconfirm oneself by submitting to tests, to difficult and decisive relational models, to co-existence with antagonistic worlds, travelling through isolated and mysterious lands. The adventure of Petrea Voinicul will confirm that there is beauty in monstrosity, but his temptation becomes lethal and irreversible. The hero's wandering in the dragon labyrinth will unfold under the double auspices of mother and lover, with devotion and loyalty until his ritualistic death. Love will be Petrea Voinicul's guide, and the apple – the sacred covenant with life and nature.
