THOMAS PAVEL, THE EXILE AND THE KINGDOM

In this article I sought to find the connection between the theoretical and fictional part of the work of one of the best known American professors of Romanian origin, Thomas Pavel, emphasizing the interpretation of parallel series of concepts in literary theory, comparative literature or classical French literature, all three being the fields of competence of the literary critic and theorist, who, immediately after his emigration to France and then Canada and the USA was forbidden to Romanian readers, but who managed to return to the forefront of the local literary phenomenon, especially through translations its. He is now quite well known to Romanian specialists and often returns to his country and to his Alma Mater University of Bucharest, in order to meet with students, masters and doctoral students of the Faculty of Letters and to present the various projects he develops as professor emeritus of the American university.
