Capacitatea narativ excepional a lui Agrbiceanu o probeaz mai cu seam marile lui povestiri: Popa Man, Pascalierul, Faraonii, Jandarmu… Aventura, humorul, pitorescul i gsesc locul propice dezvoltrii, ntr-o literatura ce se complace n a fi ea nsi, nu fr impulsuri romantice care provin din experiena sensibil a lui Walter Scott ca i a lui Prosper Merimee. Totul se desfoara aici vital, dramatic, “frumos“, veridic i incitant, calitatea narativ a acestor povestiri situndu-le pe culmile genului nuvelistic autohton. Mai fin dect Slavici, pe care l-a continuat, mai poet dect Rebreanu, pe care l-a premers, n divor permanent cu criticii contemporani, Agrbiceanu a scris fr s oboseasc, mnat de o fantezie epic unic n cadrul literelor romane.“Ion Negoiescu

Arthur Conan Doyle

First published in 1892, "The Yellow Wallpaper" is written as the secret journal of a woman who, failing to relish the joys of marriage and motherhood, is sentenced to a country rest cure. Though she longs to write, her husband and doctor forbid it, prescribing instead complete passivity. In the involuntary confinement of her bedroom, the hero creates a reality of her own beyond the hypnotic pattern of the faded yellow wallpaper--a pattern that has come to symbolize her own imprisonment. Narrated with superb psychological and dramatic precision, "The Yellow Wallpaper" stands out not only for the imaginative authenticity with which it depicts one woman’s descent into insanity, but also for the power of its testimony to the importance of freedom and self-empowerment for women.
