Summary/Abstract: The article aims at analysing Lucian Blaga’s novel “Caron’s Boat”, which could be published only after the fall of the communist regime, more exactly in 1990. The book is both a moving autobiography and a detailed account of the social and political changes of the Romanian society in the aftermath of the Second World War, culminating in the Sovietization of the country and the installment of the communist dictatorship. It is a work of narrative fiction that impresses the reader due to its ability to portray with extraordinary vividness the ruin of individual destinies and the ruin of an entire nation.
