Summary/Abstract: Mateiu Caragiale’s canonical imageis bound exclusively to the novel Craii deCurtea-Veche / Dandies of the Old Court. Butthe famous novel is only one of the author’sartistic images, texts such as the Journal orEphemerides representing the fragmentsthat complete the complex artistic mirrorwhich reflects his immense dandy pride.Considered unfinished works, leftovers or bi-zarre pieces, the fragments analyzed revealthe fact that, through the complex instru-ment of ellipses, Mateiu Caragiale succeededin recovering and recomposing a forgottenworld, with all its mystery.
