Summary/Abstract: With a modesty worthy of all appreciation, Voiculescu does not perceive literary success as the peak of his artistic career and does not give up his ideals, continuing his work of promoting culture among the popular masses, seeing it as a completion of his personality. The medical profession is not seen as an obligation, but is honored with great love and passion, so he proves to be a selfless nature, always ready to help others. The specialized literature, produced for three decades, represents the living proof of the spiritual valence of Voiculescu. Loving his fellow men and gifted with artistic talent, Vasile Voiculescu puts himself at the service of people both as a doctor and as a writer. The freedom of choosing his own horizon of knowledge accompanies him permanently, and his intellectual curiosity is reflected in his bookish concerns, being passionate about books and fascinated by the total experiences that could be glimpsed. He avoids compromises which would do no honor to his honest but exhausting existence, and diligently fulfills the medical obligations imposed by his chosen profession, but these cannot at all keep him away from reading, which gives him innumerable inner experiences and increases the pulsation of his inner life. Trips to monasteries or historical monuments, as well as those through the mountains, help him discover a completely new, different world that piques his interest and draws him to it with an unknown but all- consuming force.
