| Summary: | Exotic spaces have always attracted people’s attention for their completely unusual aspects, a charm of the unknown being always present in the collective mind along with the irresistible attraction for otherness, connoting significant cultural differences when considerable distances are implied. If such encounters were unfrequent or even non-existent at the level of fully translated books, at least in the first part of the period we are dealing with, numerous ‘exotic flowers’ appeared in literary magazines and also in those with a quasi-constant literary page or column, gathered for the first time by the collective research of Romanian periodicals for the elaboration of the project known as the Bibliography of the Relations of Romanian Literature with Foreign Literatures in Periodicals. Texts of this kind published in the Romanian literary press are generally short, often without a specified translator or source, mostly belonging to the folklore of a certain area (legends, fairy tales, proverbs), the main reasons being the major folkloric interest of the time and also the belief that tradition with its picturesque traces is without a doubt the soul of a nation. We should also take into account the trends of the period, the profile of the magazines, the demand of the editorial staff, the readers’ taste as well as the translators’ inclination for certain topics or regions. Following the universal decimal classification and leaving aside well-represented and relatively well-known linguistic spaces, our paper will review the entries registered in our Bibliography… concerning exotic literatures such as Baltic, Irish, Scottish, Afghan, Annamite, Vietnamese, Thai, Azerbaijani, Korean, African, Malay, Javanese, Maori or those emerging from Madagascar or New Zealand. |
