Since the oldest of times, people have tried to comprehend the environment, in all its aspects: sky, soil, water, natural phenomena and animals. The human being realized that it cannot compete with the power of the universe. Unable to conquer its forces, energies, beasts, elements, mankind wanted to tame them. Or at least to find some explanations for them, in order to possess knowledge on how to avoid them. The human race tried to grasp the enigma of lightning and thunder peal, the mystery of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, it tried to decipher the secrets of the world that’s invisible to the human eye, to unravel the riddles of metaphysics. An element of the intangible that caught the attention of the human societies is genius loci/ spiritus loci. Over the past centuries, the Latin expression “genius of the place/ spirit of the place” has earned various acceptances. Regardless of the multiple meanings of the phrase, “genius loci” always interacted with people that attempted to peacefully communicate with the telluric energy. This mutual conditioning is found in multiple literary works, from various continents. The writers of the magic realism illustrated the human being’s dependence over a certain place, but also the human’s mark over a terrestrial surface.
