Synthesis, no. XLI, 2014, pp. 77-82Title: LE PROBLEME DE LA VERACITE: LE ROMAN HISTORIQUE ET LE ROMAN EN TANT QU’HISTOIREPages: 77-82Language: French URL: https://synthesis.ro/pdf/2014/XLI/7_I_Mihaila.pdf Abstract What are the connections between literature and history? To what extent can literature be considered to be faithful (or unfaithful!) to the historical event? Is the novel a credible source of historical information (or simply formation) for the reader? These are the main questions that this paper, The Problem of the Veracity: Historical Novel and Novel-as-History, intends to answer, starting from the definition of the historical novel. However, in which area could literary narration manage to give its reader the historical event in a shape that is as close to the bareness that would grant it documentary value? Paradoxically, literature and specifically the novel whose action is contemporary to the moment of writing are, through the subjectivity assumed by means of its very definition as literature, more objective.

XLI, 2014, pp. 47-56Title: REVERIES BY THE FIREPLACEPages: 47-56Language: EnglishURL: https://synthesis.ro/pdf/2014/XLI/5_S_Galatchi.pdf Abstract This article analyses the symbolism of the fire in literature from a psychoanalytical perspective. Among the authors taken into consideration for this purpose range romantics like Samuel Taylor Coleridge, George Byron, Alfred Tennyson, William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot. Fire is mainly referred to express passion, longing, love and death at the same time, purification and redemption. Matthew Amold’s Empedocles, the character of his dramatic poem Empedocles on Etna, is explained by his living and dying instincts. With W. B. Yeats, fire has a complex and wide range of meanings. Like Tennyson, Yeats reaches the sublimation of fire symbolism with repre[1]sentations of rose. T. S. Eliot brings up the idea that fire can unify two opposites of a paradox and facilitate our passing through by the power of imagination, of reveries Keywords: fire, reveries, psychoanalysis, complex, literature
