Joc identitar. Reconstrucţie autobiografică în opera lui Andreï Makine-Testamentul francez şi Pământul și cerul lui Jacques Dorme
Identity game. Autobiographical reconstruction in Andreï Makine's work of art -The French will and Jacques Dorme's - The Earth and Sky

Summary/Abstract: The association of the Russian space with contemporary French literature finds its meaning in the world of Andreï Makine's novels, rebuilt under the burden of the Russian society, a hypostasis which has to be abandoned at the same time with the voluntary banishment. Continuously looking for his identity, the writer does not detach himself from his origins, which can be easily seen by simply taking an account of the novels. His inner barriers make him recreate a forgotten Russia, by abandoning his mother tongue in favour of the French language as a means of literary expression, sending to the reader a profound message. The banished writer inserts in his mosaic-like works of art some discrete biographical touches, whose veracity hides under the sign of pyrrhonism, materialized in his mystical, fleeting characters or in descriptions of the Russian beautiful breathtaking steppe. Both in The French will and Jacques Dorme's The Earth and Sky the author becomes one and the same with the story through its autobiographical style, an inner voice that needs to be expressed, heard and felt. The present work of art wants to explore these worlds, the temporaray/transfer one and that of the Lost Paradise, a shift between the two worlds that has as mere effect the need of expression in order not to mistreat the inner of its being and to balance the duality of its nature.
