LUCIAN BLAGA, VALERIU ANANIA, NICOLAE STEINHARDT - THE TRIAD OF FREE WRITERS, BEYOND CENSORSHIP

Summary/Abstract: The communion with God has always been a source of religious poetry, building the meditation area whose product was the refined, deified word, through the grace of poets. Philological research has discovered a true theology of logos, giving it special importance from the very first pages of the biblical text. Lucian Blaga, Nicolae Steinhardt, and Valeriu Anania converge on the duality of the human being, as well as their endeavor to penetrate the way human consciousness manifests itself, the need for light, knowledge, and truth. This justifies the presence of the metaphor of light in Blagian and Ananian poetry, as well as in the memoirs of the monk from Rohia. Light is closely related to the divine logos and the ritual of utterance. Light opposes darkness, so it expresses the principle of good. The texts of the presented writers reflect both the turmoil of a generation and the creative grace, the need to testify about faith, hesychia, knowledge, life and death. Twinned by shared biographical aspects, the writers develop the same thematic predilection and vision. They continue the great interwar tradition, being aware of their messianic role, of the importance of the literary testament.
