Summary/Abstract: The author of this study explores the early literary contributions and controversial legacy of Romanian writer Eugen Barbu. Initially celebrated for his cultural influence, Barbu's career was later tarnished by allegations of plagiarism and political favoritism during the communist regime. The text highlights his literary apprenticeship through humorous sketches and serialized narratives in satirical magazines of the 1940s, illustrating his stylistic experimentation and narrative potential. These early works reveal Barbu's emerging talent for creating intricate plots, vivid characters, and unexpected twists, traits that would shape his later literary achievements despite subsequent criticism and ostracism.
