Summary/Abstract: ”In the glow of the moon” (by Fanuș Neagu) is one of the narrative texts characterized by the plurisemantism given by both verbal and imagistic games, so widely used in his short stories. The worldwide known cultural archetypes and those specific to Romanian space overlap and create a magical and symbolical universe, a world where the secrets of the cosmos are reflected in the ordinary people’s lives. The dialogues, the everyday gestures of the characters are transformed into veritable rituals of magic that give those people direct access to the eternal universe. As the story is recounted the characters are drawn from the material universe and cross into the world of dreams, so that the archetypal symbols perfectly fits into the narrative space.
