Summary/Abstract: Apart from the hypostases already mentioned, Valeriu Anania arrived with the self-assurance of a traveller from whom the reader simply does not want to break away, because every journey is accompanied by this revealing element, and as final instances we will mention the Davidic dances, which were previously implanted as a biblical anecdote. In fact, they manifested themselves in pure form in Ethiopia and were thus part of the ritual of the Jews or, why not, of the Old Testament. ​​The Lord's Ark of the Covenant could not have been brought to Jerusalem if King David had not sung and danced at the head of a huge procession. The originality of the research lies in this accumulation of reflections offered by Valeriu Anania, with alternative elements such as the ballads of Iancu, anecdotes, riddles, the whistling of the dance from Oltenia, and, on the other hand, the fictional garb of a distant world, recreated in a forgotten America, regardless of the unknown barriers of the imaginary and the reconstruction beyond appearances.
