Summary/Abstract: Since the popular fairy tale "Youth without age and life without death", from the collection of Petre Ispirescu, represents the text that has aroused special interest among critics, I have chosen it as a special representative of my concrete analysis of the initiatory journey. From the moment of his conception to that of his death, the hero experiences an archetypal spiritual becoming, whose societal convergence will determine a total reconnection with the Self, but in a new, harsh and dull world that no longer responds to him spiritually.
