Discurs Eugen Simion
Speech Eugen Simion

Summary/Abstract: You have honored me and I thank you for this. For me it is as if I would take a glass of cold water and wake up to reality. The history is this: Caragiale was in Berlin in the last part of his life and in 1909 in the country appeared a volume of his, about which Mihai Dragomirescu, also called Mihalache, wrote an article. Caragiale sent the following telegram: "Dear Mihalache, don’t you think you praised me too much, because I did not think so". That's why I have paraphrased. Ladies and gentlemen, I first want to thank the Rector who invited me here, it is not the last time I come here, I was invited before and I felt good. I congratulate you for existing, and I found out that you are the most important university in this region and I gladly accepted your invitation. Secondly, I'd like to say something to my colleague, my disciple and critic whom I appreciate greatly, that he forgot to quote, for reasons regarding generation 1960, I suppose, a critic who was essential for us and not only because he was my friend.
