| Abstract: | When talking about the ritual/religious, etc. myth it is required to make the necessary distinction that Pierre Albouy (2012) made regarding French literature, between the notion of myth - reserved to the ritual and religious domain - and the myth in literature - transformed into epos. It is a distinction made by Liviu Rebreanu in the Romanian literature referring to the novel Adam și Eva [Adam and Eve]. In a novel such as Adam și Eva [Adam and Eve] transmigration, eclectic in itself remains only the theoretical scaffolding of the “ways of civilizing the soul”. Another focus of the paper is the research of the connection between the Platonic model of the myth of the androgyne, the Biblical model and the freedom of creation of the writer (constructing on one idea). Liviu Rebreanu inserts into the fascination of the feverish search of “the other” in the transcendent principle. Subtle in itself, transmigration remains only the theoretical scaffolding of the “ways of civilizing the soul” on the level of major significances of the novel. The metaphysical solution is that harmony and initial purity can be recovered in a spiritual plan, being sure that the Biblical myth of the original couple to be corrected through the epic through the “Platonic myth of the androgyne.” The panorama of individual achievements such as the merging of the two principles - male and female - illustrates the sacred essence of the human being. |
