Summary/Abstract: The reading analysis of works pertaining to the totalitarian period made by the common literature consumers require special attention. The difficulties and the risks of investigating their reading behaviour arise mainly from the obvious differences that exist between reading and its perception in the past and the way the nowaday’s reader relates to it. For the nowaday’s reader and especially for the one who has very shortly lived under the communist era (if not at all), the allusions, references or nuances specific to the text are in peril of remaining unveiled. The complicated historic context is difficult to penetrate in consequent epoques. On the other hand, whether the censors, critics, professional readers have the possibility of researching documents that acknowledge considerations regarding the works of writers, the common reader and his reading behaviour, in particular, are very difficult to explore.
