Revolta ocultată sau despre revirimentul poetic al amintirii – Norman Manea, Vorbind pietrei

Abstract

The poem entitled Vorbind pietrei / Talking to a stone turns into an original lyrical version mirroring Norman Manea's spiritual - scriptural - biographic quest, in fact a text talking about life and death, about human condition and the power of writing to transgress time. Contextually related to the funeral stone with which the outcast lyrically and metaphorically talks - actually to eternal pain - the book (the Holy one and those following It) esthetically redefines death and human degradation beyond any limits - acting as an exorcist mechanism at the same time.
