Abstract: This article is a critical comparative study of how reading contributes to human resilience in the face of ignorance, wilderness, and misinformation. The three novels – The Reader by Bernard Schlink, The Old Man Who Read Love Stories by Luis Sepúlveda and The Reader from the Cave by Rui Zink – form a literary corpus from which we extracted the romanesque situations, characters and images of a homo legens who is resilient through the book, through reading, by meditating on what is read and by finding an existential meaning in it. Overcoming primary and functional illiteracy is a special theme of these books. The narrative plot contains the story of people, adults and teenagers, who possess a certain degree of understanding about life and the world, with the book serving as a source of support. In this context, reading does not merely substitute for existence; rather, it serves to enhance and enrich it.

Abstract: The article proposes a hermeneutic approach to the poetic creation of Leo Bordeianu, a Bessarabian writer of the eighties generation, who stands out from his congeners not only by the discretion of his presence in the Chișinau literary environment, but also by his artistic formula devoid of passionate accents and mannerist exaltations, but not of ontological truth, of depth. Leo Bordeianu creates a contemplative poetry of the eye attracted by the chromatic dynamics of the natural landscape, an interrogative poetry that revolves around issues of ecological, social, ethnic and national order, a religious poetry, of the search for God and self-discovery, and a subtle erotic poetry that metaphorises the eternal feminine. The article carries out an analysis and interpretation of the author’s exponential poetic texts, selected from various volumes published since the year of his literary debut.
