Abstract: After a true initiatory journey, with dramatic sequences when it seemed that he lost his identity, Barbarius manages to return to his own self, the real man who can love and be loved. At the end of the novel, the protagonist achieves that much desired inner balance along with Dr. Zamfirita Micescu. However, we can not speak of eros without taking into account the desire, because the place where desire appears, also appears the needs to satisfy it. The feeling of fullness, inner balance, satisfaction manages to materialize through the harmonious fusion between the two forms of eros, namely sexuality and spiritual love. Therefore, we can state that along with Dr. Micescu, Caesar achieves a high hypostasis of eros. The narrator admirably manages to capture the reader's attention from the first chapter of the novel, which describes a passionate scene, of heartbreaking love that ends in a perverse cruelty and murder.
