EMINESCOLOGIA ȘI EXTREMUL ORIENT ÎN DIALOGURILE LUI MIHAI CIMPOI

Abstract

The literary critic Mihai Cimpoi lets the curtain fall and presents us with some dialogues with the representatives of China and Japan. Reading these scholarly discussions, we can dive among the Alpha and Omega of Mihai Eminescu’s works subtleties, we also manage to pick from the precious seeds of universality and crystallize interculturality – the basis of precious axiology. Academician Mihai Cimpoi’s dialogues with the representatives of China and Japan profile the attitude of society in the Far East towards the values identified in Romanian literature, towards our Light (which the Chinese consider to be theirs). These discussions develop the props of universal literary criticism and offer a new grid for presenting interculturality, a spectrum of ideas woven in a friendly atmosphere, a constructive dialogue between personalities of phenomenal erudition.
