Summary/Abstract: Migration is a complex phenomenon, very old and actual at the same time. The leaving of one’s native country triggers a series of transformations at the level of identity, losses, fractures and cultural conflicts. In the case of Bujor Nedelcovici, migration and exile represent not only a life story but also a recurrent topic, both in his fictional and autobiographical work. Because of the communist censorship and terror, he chooses the path of exile and takes up residence in France, in 1987, where he lives ever since. His lived experiences are partially present in his novel “The wolf-tamer” which seems to illustrate the complex situation of migration. It is the intention of this paper to identify and examine the trials of the characters following the leaving of their own country.
