Summary/Abstract: This work aims to analyze the way personal life can influence the career of a writer, from the perspective of the most important human feeling, love, drawing both some significant biographical milestones from the life story of the writers Ana Blandiana and Romulus Rusan and searching for meanings, motivations, transformations, the way the encounter with love transformed both their lives and their artistic creation. Love becomes, from a way of life, a motivation of writing, of creation, transforming the outer and inner universe of the artist, thus becoming the supreme force through which the writer builds the fictional world. Love thus remains not only the engine of existence, the one that gives meaning to the personal life of the writer, but also the one that builds the artistic language according to its own laws, transforming and recreating both the outer universe, of the artist's real life, and the inner one, of the soul and of creative imagination. And when love unites not just one, but two writers, it becomes a force of nature that can irreparably change both their lives and their literary destiny.
