Editing Wandering Jew (section)

[[Mihai Eminescu]], an influential [[Romanian people|Romanian]] Romantic writer, depicts a variation in his 1872 fantasy novella [[Poor Dionis|Poor Dionysus]] ({{Langx|ro|Sărmanul Dionis}}). A student named Dionis goes on a surreal journey through the book of [[Zoroaster]], which seemingly grants him godlike abilities. The book is given to him by Ruben, his Jewish master who is a [[philosopher]]. Dionis awakens as Friar Dan, and is eventually tricked by Ruben, being sentenced by God to a life of insanity. This he can only escape by [[resurrection]] or [[metempsychosis]].

Similarly, [[Mircea Eliade]] presents in his [[Bibliography of Mircea Eliade|novel]] ''Dayan'' (1979) a student's mystic and fantastic journey through time and space under the guidance of the Wandering Jew, in the search of a higher truth and of his own self.
