Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to analyse the problem of the literary exile from its metaphysical level, crossing over the existentialist one and, finally, to approach its modern aspect. Our conclusion is that in the Postmodern epoch, the literary exile removes from an exile of the human being to the exile of books. From now on, uprooting looses its "hard" connotation and tends to become a "soft", "light" experience which favours the mobility of the text.
