Summary

"Mioriţa este 'una dintre marile opere clasice ale literaturii universale' a spus teoreticianul literar austriac Leo Spitzer. Este o poezie aparent simplă, dar în fond extrem de complexă, care a stârnit entuziasmul occidentatilor și, în contextul mișcărilor de emancipare națională din Europa de la mijlocul secolului al XIX-lea, i-a făcut să vadă că un popor, care a putut crea o adevărată capodoperă, are dreptul să aibă un stat propriu. A fost momentul creării statului național România. Din ce cauză Miorița a stârnit controverse atât de mari, încât, în ultima vreme, unii o consideră dăunătoare? Creatorii populari nu puteau, nicidecum, să compună și să lase ceva dăunător pentru urmașii lor. ... Tot ce ni se pare concret în Miorița sunt simboluri. Mai suntem oare capabili să descifrăm metafore și alegorii create de străbunii noștri? Bazat pe analiza sutelor de variante ale Mioriței, pe numeroase lucrări și opinii, autorul încearcă să răspundă la aceste întrebări."--Back cover
Mioriţa is 'one of the great classic works of universal literature', said Austrian literary theorist Leo Spitzer. It is a seemingly simple, but extremely complex poem, which has aroused the enthusiasm of Westerners and, in the context of the national emancipation movements in Europe since the mid-nineteenth century, made them see that a people who could create a true masterpiece, has the right to have its own state. It was time to create Romania's national state. Why has Mioriţa raised so much controversy that some have lately considered it harmful? Popular creators could not, by any means, compose and leave something harmful to their followers. ... All that we find concrete in Mioriţa are symbols. Are we still able to decipher metaphors and allegories created by our ancestors? Based on the analysis of the hundreds of variants of Miorita, on numerous works and opinions, the author tries to answer these questions.
