Summary/Abstract: The present work analyzes the relationship between subversion and dissent within the novel The Most Beloved of the Earthlings, insisting on the strategies through which the attacks on the regime were camouflaged. Despite the fact that the text represents a harsh document of the totalitarian period, in which art was under the control of the Security and presents a faulty political mechanism, in which values are overturned, it was able to pass censorship through the appeal to obliqueness, allusion and mask. The narrative techniques, the fictional mandate, the indirect criticism, the background noise and various tricks that Marin Preda uses to disguise the attacks individualize the novel and turn it into the most important piece of writing of the “obsessive decade”.
