Erotic relationship is maintained in the domain of psychological casuistry. The protagonist appears as an immature intellectual, obsessed with unravelling the woman's mystery that remains impenetrable. What he desires is not the woman, but the knowledge and the control of he r intimate life. Thus, the tension of Holban's novels does not result from emotion, but from excessive rationality.otherDragostea ca dorinta de posesiune intelectuală în proza narativă a lui Anton HolbanLove as a desire for intellectual possession in Anton Holban's narrative proseArtykuł
