  Abstract:  Ştefan Borbély’s books are one of the rarest examples of a fruitful and successful combination of two very divergent matters of the critical studies. One regards comparative literature and its complex themes, and Ştefan Borbély has already offered valuable inquiries in its essential concepts, from Antiquity to the post-war period, from the myth of the Anti-Hero to the Counterculture. The other is represented by the contemporary Romanian literature, its actual ever changing phenomena and its debates, usually a different field of the critical studies, held in opposition to the academic field, manifested in the reviews. Those two different dimensions are equally very well reflected in Ştefan Borbély’s cultural preoccupations, and he proves that they do not oppose one another at all, but can cooperate fruitfully for the benefit of both comparative studies and critical reviews of recent books.
