Arta, adevar si politica
Art, Truth, Politics

Summary/Abstract: „Art, Truth, Politics” is a fragment from Pinter’s Nobel Lecture (December 2005). „There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false, it can be both true and false”. Even if the dramatist wrote these assertions in 1958, he still considers them to make sense and to apply to the exploration of reality through art. „So, as a writer, I stand by them, but as a citizen I cannot. As a citizen I must ask: What is true? What is false?” The distinction between truth in art and truth in politics is what the 2005 Nobel Laureate seeks to define in his Nobel Lecture from which „Lettre Internationale”, the Romanian edition, publishes a fragment.
