SENTIMENTUL TIMPULUI IN PROZA NATURISTA A LUI MIHAIL SADOVEANU
TIME PERCEPTION IN MIHAIL SADOVEANU’S WRITINGS ABOUT NATURE

Summary/Abstract: The nowadays honest reader must admit that s/he has neither time nor peace to respond well to Mihail Sadoveanu’s landscape-focused prose. Nature’s protective environment alleviates the pain of perceived temporality. Sadoveanu was looking for those isolated natural places which appear to be a new way of residing in paradise again. That is why his writings about nature are an attempt to suppress temporality and they render the indulgence in a happy edenical inactuality. The way to abolish the forth dimension is rediscovering the poetical, the delightful, the delicate, the harmonious, the legendary, the paradisiac- all these are nouns or adjectoives recurrent in Sadoveanu’s prose focused on natural landscapes. But this attempt fails. The man finds again the signs of time-passing. In Sadoveanu’s writings about nature, temporality is linked with eternity rather than with the ephemeral.
