The author undertakes a concrete analysis of several novels that do credit to the epic prose from the East of the Prut River: Povestea cu cocoşul roşu (The story of the Red Rooster) by V. Vasilache; Singur în faţa dragostei (Alone in front of the love), Pactizând cu diavolul (Pact with the devil), Spune-mi Gioni (Call me Johnny) and Hronicul Găinarilor (Chronicle of the poulterer) by A. Busuioc; Zbor frânt (Broken flight), Viața și moartea nefericitului Filimon... (The life and death of the unfortunate Filimon...) by V. Besleaga; Un moldovean la închisoare (A Moldovan in prison) and Vin chinezii! (The Chinese are coming) by N. Esinencu; Goană după vânt (Chasing the wind) by L. Istrati; Eclipsa (The eclipse) and Vijelia (The storm) by M.Gh. Cibotaru; Cireșe pentru Mareșal (Cherries for the Marshal) by I. Iachim; Orizont pierdut (Lost horizon) by V. Zbârciog... The researcher follows closely the development by the prosaists of some considerable psychological surveys, by calling to impressive narrative techniques that would help them to promote valuable artistic messages.
