SPAȚIUL ÎN POVESTIRILE SADOVENIENE, ÎNTRE LEGENDĂ ȘI MIRACULOS
THE SPACE IN M. SADOVEANU̕S SHORT STORIES, BETWEEN LEGEND AND MARVELLOUS

Summary/Abstract: In the present article, we aim to analyse the symbolism of the various topoi represented in Sadoveanu̕s short stories, uncovering the secrets they hide and revealing the meanings and typologies of the topoi. We aim to enter the universe of Sadoveanu’s short stories collection Valea Frumoasei (Valley of the Beauty) and Sadoveanu’s short story Dumbrava minunată (The Wonderful Grove), revealing the significance of legendary or marvellous spaces. The theoretical frame of the article will be based on ideas found in the specialized texts of writers such as M. Bahtin, Gaston Bachelard, Gilbert Durand, Jean-Jacques Wunenburger or Jean Burgos. We will also consider the transition from universality to autochthonism in terms of space theory, through the studies of some theorists such as Lucian Blaga, Mircea Eliade, Ernest Bernea, Lucian Boia. All of these writers have approached the problematics of space, of its theory and poetics, and also that of the imaginary and the image. In the second part of the study, we will uncover the types of space present in Sadoveanu’s works, focusing on the legendayr and marvellous ones.
