Summary/Abstract: Marin Preda is a realistic writer, concerned with being exact and precise in his story, correct and concise in its style, its work being always part of the fundamental books of the Romanian literature. In Marin Preda's novel, omniscience is partially abandoned. The characters say something, they become informants, accomplices with the author, the narrator has therefore lost his sovereignty, and the heroes become reflectors. Moromeţii is a realistic novel, in which the anti-calophile style, similar to the style of the interwar prose writers, provides precision, conciseness and clarity. Like Balzac or the Russian realists, Marin Preda fixes in realistic paintings, sometimes sad and slightly oppressive, aspects of life and failure.
