Summary/Abstract: The work demonstrates that Dumitru Tepeneag’s short stories is an incursion into a trivial world, where the struggle of human beings with automatism turns into an apparent escape in the oniric plan, where the same reality seems to capture everything. The corpus of texts selected for interpretation includes the three short prose volumes, analyzed from the perspective of a limiting universe, as a picture of human theater. The robotic characters form pictures from a reality of porcelain, seen as a confrontation at all levels. In an absurd reality, recomposed not necessarily by the oniric rules, the captive people suffer in a demanding existence precisely through its inaccuracy and uncertainty.
