TITLU în română: Levantul pentru Valeriu Anania: O călătorie a gândirii şi împlinirii spirituale
Subiect: Valeriu Anania, “the hierarch with an American writer’s biography”, was a poet, playwright, prose writer, essayist and translator. More than his expulsion from the Faculty of Medicine (the reason why he would never fulfil his dream of becoming a doctor) he was the protagonist of several arrests that culminated in six years in prison. Even though his biography was marked by the Second World War and the difficult years of Communism, his open-mindedness to knowledge never faltered. Moreover, although his life was marked by a series of unfortunate events, Anania was an encyclopedic personality passionate about the acquisition of knowledge, and a traveler of the spirit. In this paper, we will highlight some important milestones that support the above. First of all, we will analyze Anania’s undergraduate thesis, the play Greul Pământului, his travels across India and Ethiopia, as well his translations of the Bible and of the Canon of Andrew the Cretan.
