Pe limbul dantesc al universului concentraţionar
On the Dantesque Limb of the Concentrationary Universe

Summary/Abstract: The Ognjen Spahić novel, Hansenova djeka (Hansen’s Children), recompose the communist concentrationary universe, having as fictional starting point the last asylum for lepers from the South Eastern Europe, in Tichileşti, Romania. Two important themes organize the book: on the one hand, the illness and her bookish meanings and on the other, the communist dictatorship (any kind of ictatorship) generating isolation and mutilation. The tension of the narrative receives thriller’s accents on a aturalistic background, where the ethnical category, the age, the gender, the ex-political or social affiliation don’t have any importance in the uniformizing universe of the illness, a spacious metaphor of the maimed ideology. The friendship, the hope, the desire for freedom, the aspiration to beauty - are the human values which are trying, in an universal way, to save the content of humanity, added to the free big world.
