Abstract
Isolated from their genuine cultural environment, forced to a marginal condition, the exiled discover inner survival resources, they face extreme situations, and their strong personalities discover themselves. For them, exile is a mark of prestige, a validation of the existential condition the proof of authenticity, in which the personality is able to manifest integrally.
The exile reaches the meaning of incontestable proof of sacrifice for the political, cultural ideas or the affection for the people. For this condition many times, dissimulation of the villain calculation or the retouched biography cannot be reproached. On the other hand, in the psychological plan, the condition of exiled is often resembled to a labyrinthine itinerancy.
