Abstract

Panait Istrati depicted better than any other writer the composite world of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 19th century and the facts resulting from this mixture of cultures, identities and races. The theme of the voyage is a favourite theme for him which allows him to get to know, through his characters/masks, an environment so different from his own, from the world of his home town Brăila. Panait Istrati/Adrien Zografi travels all over the Balkans and the Mediterranean, either by moving or by reading, in search of an identity. The message his literary work transmits is a warm invitation to an initiatory journey, to tolerance, to communication, to dialogue.
