Answering the virtual questions, they reveal Cantemir as inquisitive as a reader, as he is an erudite author. Keywords: Cantemir; annotations; philology; anecdotes; author.

Orestes et Alkestis sont écartées comme étrangères à la tragédie parce que, tout en commençant par un malheur, finissent dans le bonheur et dans la joie, ce qui relève plutôt de la comédie.

Besides, both Roth and Amy Tan build their speeches based on asserting a “cultural remembrance”. This means that we can distinguish in both of them a differentiation between the “individual memory”, on the one hand, and the “generational memory”, on the other hand.

The idea of knight survives even outside its history, representing a “superior type of humanity’’. “Even if it does not correspond to certain realities from institutions, it expresses though, in the image of a symbol, a specific number of values.” The ideal of chivalry comes down to a total obedience towards special arrangements along the entire life.
