MYTH AND TRADITION IN ION AGÂRBICEANU’S WORK

Summary/Abstract: Ion Agârbiceanu was born in an archaic space in which tradition is religiously followed and his work materialized itself into more than eighty volumes. Ion Agârbiceanu’s work favours on one hand the portrayal of archaic Romanian aspects, of traditions and popular unwritten laws, and on the other hand, it depicts the rather forced permeation of the city civilization and industry into the village environment, which attempts to destroy the ancestral way of life. Through all his work, Ion Agârbiceanu affiliates himself easily with the traditional line by revealing the respect for tradition and by promoting the national specificity.
