Jurnalul lui Virgil Ierunca
The Virgil Ierunca’s Diary

Summary/Abstract: Virgil Ierunca (1920-2006) is representing, as Monica Lovinescu and Sanda Stolojan are doing it, an important voice of Romanian Exile. Fragments of the daily notes of this man of culture (philosopher, reviewer, poet, and essayist) were integrated in the book Trecut-au anii… (The Years Was Passing...) from 2000. The tome is completed with some interviews from the period after December 1989 (postdecembrist Epoch), as with a corpus composed by articles and letter received by Ierunca from the part of some Romanian culture men, too. His notes touch the interval 1949-1951 and 1960. The pages recompose the atmosphere of the Romanian exile from Paris, sketching the truthful Chronicle of a hellish time. Personalities of the foreground of the Romanian culture from Diaspora – Mircea Eliade, Eugen Ionescu, Emil Cioran, Vintilă Horia, Paul Celan, Basil Munteanu and many others become the characters of a fascinating book.
