Emperor Joseph IInd and Horia‘s Peasant Uprising

Kaiser Josef II. und der Bauernaufstand Horias

Author(s): Octavia Beu / Language(s): German

Keywords: Peasant uprising 1784 in Romania; Joseph II; peasant leader Horia;

In almost all the important archives in Europe, there is a very rich source material about the uprising of the Romanian peasants in Transylvania in 1784, which historians have not yet sufficiently considered and evaluated. Among these writings is also the correspondence of Emperor Joseph II, which deals with the origin and the elimination of the causes of the uprising in particular. For historical research it is certainly of importance to contrast the main figures of the uprise, Emperor Joseph II and the peasant leader Horia, and to attempt to carefully weigh up and clarify the historical role they played. The publication of the imperial correspondence is intended to serve this purpose. Published in 1944 by Centrul de Studii și Cercetări Privitoare la Transilvania

Romanians and Hungarians. Historic Assumptions

Roumains et Hongrois. Prémisses Historiques

Author(s): C. Sassu / Language(s): French

Keywords: Trianon; Hungarian revisionism; apostolic kingdom; Thraciens; Dacians;

The economic crises, political tensions and troubled situations which have afflicted humanity during these last two decades since 1918, would be due, to a large extent, to the layout of these borders considered as artificial, because of them, we would have abolished consolidated units. And the course of these borders would have been made by force and by surprise i by force, because we would have imposed by violence conditions impossible on an adversary without the right of reply or of explanation, and, by surprise, by deceiving good faith of certain statesmen completely ignorant of the real situation in these regions. // As the current border between Hungary and Romania is also disputed with a great deal of passion by this development, which seems to assume that continually repeated assertions end up being accepted as true, by the mere fact of their being uttered, this work is confined to the subject proposed and aims to explain, as far as possible, the real value of these statements. We hope that minds not blinded by passion and disinterested, will find it useful and opportune to know the real elements of a controversy so ostentatiously stirred, and presented as one of the great unresolved political problems of the present time. // Published in 1940 by Editions „Cugetarea—P.

A Prussian Observer of the Romanian Lands a Century ago

Un Observator Prusian in Țările Române acum un Veac

Author(s): Victor Papacostea / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: Prussia; Frederic the Great from Prussia; Grigore Ghica; Johann Daniel Ferdinand Neigebaur;

The book has originally been published in Bucharest in 1942 by an unnamed Publishing House. This research is dealing with Prussian relations to Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Since his accession to the throne of Prussia Frédéric the Great paid great attention to Eastern politics. His adversaries were — as is well known — Russia and Austria. Naturally, he sought the alliance of Sweden against the Russians and the alliance of the Turks against Austria. At the center of this great diplomatic action are the Romanian Principalities — with all their little political significance. In the summer of 1741, Frédéric sent to the court of the Moldavian prince Grigore Ghica the skilled diplomat Seewald to ask him to broker an alliance with the Gate. But the focus of the research is in hundred years later and main attention is dedicated to Johann Daniel Ferdinand Neigebaur. In the late 1830s, Neigebaur (actually Neugebauer) had himself reactivated for the Prussian diplomatic service and was the first Prussian Consul General to be appointed by the Foreign Ministry for the now independent Danube Principalities of Moldova and Wallachia. He was sent to Jassy for two and a half years without pay.

Ideas and People

Idei şi Oameni

Author(s): Felix Aderca / Language(s): Romanian

[Published in 1922 by Editura Alcalay & Calafateanu, Bucharest] Committed, by the 1920s, to a highly personalized pacifist socialism, Aderca veered toward the far-left of politics: in Idei și oameni, he chided Romanian reformism, moderate Marxism as personified by Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea and the Second International. He decried the exploitation of workers and luxuries such as the casinos of Sinaia. Nonetheless, Crohmălniceanu, a Marxist, noted that Moartea unei republici roșii told little about how "a new society is to be organized". Aderca favored "a nonconformism of a mostly moral and aesthetic kind", where sexual freedom, creative liberty and the celebration Aderca approved of class conflict, with Marxism as a legitimiate tool of the masses: "war is a creation of masters fighting each other for dominance. [...] What can the impoverished people have in common with the polite master? The French worker, what does he stand to gain from this war, other than a more thorough understanding of Marxism?" Aderca's leftist leanings were incompatible with the neoliberalism of his mentor Eugen Lovinescu, something acknowledged by Aderca in his Mic tratat years. In Mărturia unei generații, Aderca challenged Lovinescu to answer on the subject. Lovinescu did so, noting that Sburătorul's celebration of individualism outweighed the neoliberal stance of its leader. In Aderca's work, socialism was doubled by a sarcastic view of traditional authority. Police officers opened a file on him when, in 1927, he mocked King Ferdinand I as a standard of barber shop posters. According to Dumitru Hîncu, although the comment irritated state security, it was not truly "an attack on State institutions or its leaders".

Memoirs

Memorii

Author(s): Elena Lupescu / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: Carol II of Romania;

Magda Lupescu (born Elena Lupescu; 3/15 September 1899 – 29 June 1977), later officially known as Princess Elena of Romania, was the mistress and later wife of King Carol II of Romania. // The love between Carol II and "Duduia" Elena Lupescu made history. The redheaded mistress was said to be the face of sin crowned in red strands, the gray eminence behind the ten years of Carol's reign. She characterized herself simply: "I am the woman with red hair who passionately loves Carol". // It is the essence of my life, it is the divine talisman and in times of difficulty it is my ultimate refuge. This love is such that I cannot even imagine life without it. I desperately need her, moment by moment. It is indispensable to me. It is flesh of my flesh. This woman brings me infinite joy", said Carol II about Elena Lupescu, the woman for whom he renounced the throne of Romania. [published in 1918 by Editura »Jurnal de București«]

From Transylvania and Pennsylvania. Serious Words spoken in two Continents of the World.

Aus Transsilvanien und Pennsylvanien. Ernste Worte, gesprochen in zwei Weltteilen.

Author(s): Oskar Wittstock / Language(s): German

One part of these speeches comes from the activity in a small Lutheran village in Transylvania, which hangs on the last terrace of the Transylvanian southern Alps, right at the foot of the highest mountain giants ... But the rest arose during a six-month winter trip through the United States, on which the author visited his emigrated ethnic and religious comrades. It contains the fruits of the moment, which saw the light of day in workshops and factories, on the street, steamships and railways, at best in an inn... Their purpose was to let life speak to life. (O Wittstock) – THE ORIGINAL IS PRINTED IN GERMAN FRAKTURY TYPESET. READERS SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THOSE CHARACTERS. 1927 published in second edition (1st in 1914) by »Honterus Buchdruckerei« in Hermannstadt (Sibiu)

Romanian Unity

Rumänische Einheit

Author(s): Gheorghe I. Brătianu / Language(s): German

Keywords: Romanian Statehood; territoriy of Romanian State; Romanian State-Buildinig;

from the introduction: Some time ago, the excellent French publishing house Armand Colin published the small handbooks by G. Dupont-Ferrier on the formation of the French state and French unity, by G. Bourgin on the formation of Italian unity, and later this collection was supplemented by »Die deutsche Einheit« completed by P. Benaerts. Based i those volumes it seemed necessary to me to also prepare a work on Romanian unity, which was clearly the main problem of national history ... I hastily wrote a small book entitled "A riddle and a miracle of history: the Romanian people". , in which I was obliged to reopen the problem, so often discussed for more than a century, of the origin of a nation whose obscure past during the first centuries of the Middle Ages made the all too easy saying that peoples who have no history are happy, so strikingly refuted. Several editions that this work has undergone (French, Romanian, German and Italian) have proved its usefulness. [published in 1944 in Bucharest by the »N. Iorga Institute for World History«]
