Romulus Felea – correspondence
Romulus Felea – correspondence

Summary/Abstract: Born in the Apuseni Mountains area, Romulus Felea has been interested in folklore, literature and the history of the native places, as well. He dedicated his entire life to the research and enrichment of the area spiritual resources, succeeding in gathering and publishing a series of legends and short stories which were transmitted orally in that particular area; he also fought against the ignorance of forgetting the remarkable people in the area, people about whom he has gathered a series of significant bibliographical notes, published after his death. The present paper has focused on his wide correspondence with various collaborators and cultivated men, published posthumous in a series of volumes. His hundreds of pages investigated by him reveal the fact that Romulus Felea performed a gigantic cultural work showing a special interest in the local folklore, in preserving and conferring special values to the natural and historical monuments, in organising symposiums and cultural events, as well. All these dimensions brought into play his peculiar interest and enthusiasm for what means Romanian culture and history.
