DOMINANT THINKING OF THE YOUNG ADRIAN MARINO

摘要

PROFESSOR AUREL SASU FROM CLUJ PUBLISHED IN THE SUMMER OF 2010 AN EXTENSIVE ANTHOLOGY ENTITLED CULTUR? ?I CREA?IE (CULTURE AND CREATION) BRINGING TOGETHER MANY OF THE STUDIES, REVIEWS, ARTICLES AND ESSAYS THE YOUNG ADRIAN MARINO PUBLISHED BETWEEN 1939 AND 1947 IN DIFFERENT PUBLICATIONS OF THAT TIME. DESPITE THE UNFAVORABLE OPINIONS THE AUTHOR HIMSELF CONFESSES AT HIS OLDER AGE ON THE QUALITY OF HIS JUVENILE PUBLICATIONS, FOR THE LITERARY RESEARCHER, AT LEAST, THESE TEXTS PRESENT A REMARKABLE IMPORTANCE. THE ARTICLES WRITTEN DURING HIS YOUTH PERIOD CONTAIN “IN NUCE” THE ENTIRE PANOPLY OF THE ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THE FUTURE CRITIC AND LITERARY THEORETICIAN, CULTURAL IDEOLOGIST OR EMINENT COMPARATIVE RESEARCHER. THUS, THE YOUNG MARINO UTTERS RELEVANT MOSTLY ORIGINAL, SOMETIMES EVEN NON-CONFORMIST OPINIONS ON THE SYMBIOSIS RELATIONSHIP HE?S OPTING FOR. EVEN FROM THIS PERIOD, ADRIAN MARINO IS BETRAYING HIS THEORETICAL PREDISPOSITION, THE TASTE FOR THE STUDY, THE ANALYSIS AND THE COMPARISON OF THE LITERARY DOCTRINES AS WELL AS HIS CLASSICAL-SHAPED INTELLECTUAL FORMATION. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE CAN BE DISTINGUISHED FROM HIS PUBLICATIONS, BESIDES SOME ATTITUDES SPECIFIC TO HIS AGE, NUMEROUS INTELLECTUAL OR INTERIOR OPTIONS WHICH MAKE HIM SINGULAR, SUCH AS THE PURSUIT OF ORIGINALITY OF THOUGHT OR THE PLEA FOR SOLITUDE, WHEN IT COMES TO A TEMPERAMENTAL CHOICE.
