Abstract

Passionate about travel, the writers of the Pasoptist era were also tempted to explore the Orient, a sumptuous land full of miracles. In the memorials and travel diaries of Ion Heliade Rădulescu, Dimitrie Bolintineanu, Vasile Alecsandri et. a., the colorful, picturesque and bizarre, of the places visited, the unusual atmosphere of this universe are evoked. Contemplative, the Romanian writers expose in detail the coordinates of the oriental space – a mixture of human entities, of sumptuousness, luxury and misery. All of them still experience the feeling that they have entered a real Babylon. The exotic element is highlighted in geographical, ethnographic, cultural-spiritual descriptions, etc. The journey of the writer-travelers through such lands stimulates not only the initiatory adventure, but also the act of writing.
异国情调的诱惑:pashopism时期罗马尼亚旅行散文中的东方投射
对旅行充满热情的pasopist时代的作家们也被诱惑去探索东方,一个充满奇迹的富饶之地。在Ion Heliade ruridulescu, Dimitrie bolintinanu, Vasile Alecsandri等人的纪念和旅行日记中,参观过的地方色彩缤纷,风景如画,奇异,唤起了这个宇宙不寻常的气氛。沉思的罗马尼亚作家详细地揭示了东方空间的坐标——一个人类实体、奢华、奢华和痛苦的混合体。他们所有人仍然有一种进入真正的巴比伦的感觉。异域元素在地理、民族志、文化精神等方面表现突出。作家-旅行者在这片土地上的旅程不仅激发了最初的冒险,也激发了写作的行为。
