Chișinăul interbelic – „un oraş pitoresc, plin de curiozităţi prin care istoria nu a trecut fără a fi lăsat vreo urmă”
The interwar Chișinău – „a pictures quecity, full of curiositiest hrough which history has not passed with out a trace”

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian writer George Dorul Dumitrescu arrived at Chișinău in 1933 and workedfor a time as a substitute teacher of Romanian at the „Regele Ferdinand I” Military High School. In1944, a memoir about Chișinău appeared in Bucharest, entitled The City of Remembrance. Thanks tothis book, we have the opportunity to recover the image of Chișinău from the interwar period with allthe urban and cultural acquisitions, acquired in more than half a century under two political regimes.The author of the memoirs takes us imaginarily through a representative urban space of Chișinău. Oneby one, as the reading progresses, the center of a „special brilliance”, the wide boulevards and the cleanstreets with tree salong, the massively built building sand the elegant gardens take shape. For anyonewho wants to see this literary representation imaginarily reconstructs, like current digital technologies3D, a true „western city”. From The wanderers in thekidnapped land by Dumitru Moruzi, George DorulDumitrescu created perhaps the widestand most amazing panorama of the city in the literary space.
