  Abstract:  Corin Braga is one of the few contemporary Romanian comparatists who has succeeded to emerge internationally as a distinguished scholar, completing and publishing a tetralogy about a vast and less explored corpus of texts (classic utopian and antiutopian literature), at two impressive publishing houses (L’Harmattan, Classiques Garnier). His latest accomplishment, Les Antiutopies classiques is the fourth volume of an entire series, completing a monumental project about the archetypal scenario of the Quest (“la quête initiatique manquée”), ranging from the Earthly Paradise in Medieval Times (Le paradis interdit au Moyen Âge. La quête manquée de L’Éden Oriental, 2004), to the magic Celtic islands (Le paradis interdit au Moyen Âge 2. La quête manquée de l’Avalon occidentale, 2006) and finally focusing on the replacement of the Garden of Eden with Earthly Paradise and Utopian Cities built by man, which takes place in the Renaissance (Du paradis perdu à l’antiutopie aux XVII-XVIIIe siécles, 2010).
