Summary/Abstract: Alexandru Macedonski is an important Romanian writer who comes from a family that has been actively involved over time in various historically significant events for the Romanian people. The poet Alexandru Macedonski will not pursue a military career like his grandfather and father, but will be actively involved in political life by exposing his ideas in articles in various more or less recognized publications. His passion for political events led him to publish the newspaper "Oltul" between 1873- 1875 in which he published various pro-liberal articles. Macedonski's strong personality stands out in his ability to zealously convey all his literary or political conceptions. The latest political upheavals are the praiseworthy article dedicated to Field Marshal Mackensen, due to which Ovid Densusianu withdraws his proposal for the candidacy for the Romanian Academy, the brochure "Zacherlina further" and "The Sonnet of Power". The writer draws public disapproval and goes to war against everyone. The writer's death saves him from revenge.
