Summary/Abstract: This dossier explores the work of Lorand Gaspar, a major 20th-century French-language poet born in Târgu Mureș, whose writing is deeply shaped by exile, displacement, and the search for identity across languages and cultures. Trained as a surgeon, Gaspar combined his medical career with poetic creation, translation, and photography, producing a body of work marked by visual precision and philosophical depth. His life journey—from deportation during World War II to his experiences in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa—strongly informs his poetic vision. Despite major literary recognition in France, his work remains relatively little known in his native Romania, a paradox this study seeks to address by emphasizing the richness and transnational dimension of his artistic legacy.
