The dimensions of the biblical prose of Leon Donici-Dobronravov are in perfect agreement with some actual issues. Homo christianus, revived, should be seen as a response to the so-called “new man” of the infamous era. Many moments in the writer’s work are rendered through the prism of man raised in the clerical environment. In this context, both the biblical issue taken as an object of artistic exploration in his work and the presence of subjects, motifs, reminiscences from the Old and New Testaments can be explained.
