Definition from
VirtualSalt - Robert Harris:
A type of novel where the protagonist is initiated into adulthood through knowledge, experience, or both, often by a process of disillusionment. Understanding comes after the dropping of preconceptions, a destruction of a false sense of security, or in some way the loss of innocence. Some of the shifts that take place are these:
* ignorance to knowledge
* innocence to experience
* false view of world to correct view
* idealism to realism
* immature responses to mature responses
Examples:
* Jane Austen Northanger Abbey
* Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
* Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage
Example sentences:
Everything about Scherfig’s coming-of-age story about a girl in the London suburb of Twickenham in 1961 is spot-on. (Austin Chronicle Corp.)
But this comedy about a Texas high schooler (Ellen Page) who reinvents herself as “Babe Ruthless” and becomes the star of an Austin league is a surprisingly credible coming-of-age story. (Creative Loafing Media)
Ostensibly a coming-of-age story, this languorous, beautifully shot feature debut from Minh Nguyen-Vo, a writer and director, centers on a teenager whose journey from innocence to knowledge is also a twinned meditation on both the natural and very unnatural state of things. (The New York Times Company)

Example sentences:
Dupa ce anul trecut a publicat cartea "Preludiu", iata ca medicul Radu Lupean revine cu romanul "Ipocrita" (semnat Radu Nerva), in care personajul principal este tot el insusi. Daca in primul volum relata copilaria si adolescenta, la Aiud, Campulung si Cluj, acum ne povesteste viata sa de medic la Medias si Tg. Mures. Pastrand proportiile, "Ipocrita" face parte din categoria "Bildungsromanului", cultivat, intre altii, de Goethe... (ziare)
Felix Sima evolueaza de la adolescenta la maturitate, traind experienta iubirii entuziaste si ambitia realizarii in plan profesional. Din acest punct de vedere, opera "Enigma Otiliei" poate fi considerata un bildungsroman. (literaturaromana)
Anii de formare spirituala ai Aristinei Pop-Saileanu sunt marcati de cele doua falii ale secolului trecut: nazism, totalitarism. Este un bildungsroman, in care prima treapta este experienta vanat–vanator, sentiment incercat de protagonista din clipa in care este trimisa de tatal ei, padurar instarit din Tara Lapusului, sa duca hrana unei familii de evrei ascunsi de el in munti spre a scapa de deportare intr-unul dintre lagarele mortii.
