WORLD WAR II IN DINU ZARIFOPOL’S NOVEL

Summary/Abstract: Mankind has always known fear out of various reasons. But we can hardly think of something more frightening and destructive in the history of mankind than war and this may be due to the fact that, first of all, war means death. War experience has been one of the main themes approached by literature of all times, all over the world, and the Romanian literature is no exception. There are famous Romanian novelists, who were inspired by war in their writings, but less popular writers have also approached the theme and Dinu Zarifopol is one of them. He is the author of four related autobiographical novels – Naufragiul (The Shipwreck), Moartea lui Levi (Levi’s Death), Sah la rege (The King is in Check) and Crima generalului (The general’s Crime) - about World War II and its consequences upon the Romanian people.
