This essay is survey on the critical perspectives of the Marin Preda’s novels. For instance, the author thinks that the curiosity of N. Manolescu has clear boundaries. The critic does not have the vocation of research and reconstitution of contexts, but only of the (re) reading of materials at hand. Some of his remarks on the literature before the Restoration remain superficial notes, because they ignore the concrete effects of the existence of censorship.

Marin Sorescu was one of the most famous Romanian writers known abroad. His works were translated into more than 20 countries, and the total number of his books that were published abroad rises up to 60 books. Irony is the key of all his poety, as the author himself recognized. On his poetry, Sorescu said, with characteristic irony: "Just as I can't give up smoking because I don't smoke, I can't give up writing because I have no talent". His specific irony was also used in poems dealing with death. Death is a topic that most of us avoid it, and from those who approach it, Marin Sorescu approached this theme in a completely different way. In Marin Sorescu's work death is banalized, caricatured, outlining a strong sense of absurdity. His irony has made it possible to publish freely and frequently and this is the reason he has remained one of the most important neomodernist writers.

We are trying to present a first "documentary" - extremely incomplete for the time being, but we hope to be able to cover it in a future issue - about the entrance of Tîrgu Mureş in Romanian literature.

Vasile Netea's historical and literary studies have, despite an apparent heterogeneity, a vision and attitude unit. From the perspective of the preoccupations of literary history, of a particular importance are the studies consecrated by Netea to culture and national unity. Vasile Netea's historical and literary studies are the testimony of a balanced and rigorous spirit, an important figure of Romanian historiography and folklore, a moral and cultural landmark alike.

The work Studii şi însemnări blagiene/ Studies and notes on Blaga, of Professor Dumitru Isac, represents a series of texts that are in various stages of elaboration; some of them are definitive, partially resulted from processing certain versions, which are already published, and some are unreleased. Designed for publishing as a book since the very 1940s, this work remained entirely unreleased until this present time, and this is why we proposed it to the “Anuar”. Its significances are multiple and notable. On the one hand, it completed the horizon of the realistic-critical conception deployed from Kantian positions by D. Isac, in reference to L. Blaga’s metaphysics. On the other hand, this series of texts completes the already published works of the professor from Cluj, in numerous author volumes. Finally, we hereby acknowledge the continuity and the value of what some have named the “Cluj Philosophy School”, amongst whom illustrious representatives D. Isac is one. The reconstitution and editing of this work’s text, its preparation for printing, the corrections etc. were done by the scientific researcher Ionuţ Isac, author’s son. Next to author’s quotes from the editions that existed at that time, there were used the current editions for the test quotes, without indicating the reference. The missing fragments were indicated via square brackets. In certain places, there were inserted in footnotes explanations for a better understanding of the sections or of certain precise affirmations.

The article explores the hypothesis of enrolling „Moromeții” novel into the realistic socialist canon that can be hardly admitted because the novel obviously leaves the dogma of the literary thesis and the fundamental difference is to be found first in the formal aspect of the prose.

The appeal to the dream, the appeal to the show and the propensity for the chimeric representations are constitutive dimensions of the poetry of Emil Botta.

This article suggests the idea that any book about childhood implicitly operates/ induces a regression into a lost paradise, a personal Arcadia. In Romanian novels this appears as a natural, idealised place, as well as a mental space dedicated to love and a sensory space about images of taste and smell.

This text analyzes the critical reception of the Maitreyi novel which follows, in a diachronic fashion, a euphemistic route alongside the author is forgiven for the male conjure of the conqueror because the myth is paradigmatic and intangible.

Between metaphysics and corporeality, between the concept and the experience, between the sensation and its lyrical consciousness, Magda Cârneci's poetry always finds a distinct form of equilibrium, through the temptation of voluptuous staging of the signs and the world's views, in an austere and hallucinatory lyrical drawing.

The starting point of the present article is the interpretation of the literary texts as acts of communication, a combination of verbal and non-verbal strategies that build a strong sender-receiver relationship. Based on Jakobson’s communication model (1964), the pragma-linguistic study of the short stories written by important Romanian authors of the 19thcentury (C. Negruzzi, Al. Odobescu, B.P. Hasdeu and V. Alecsandri) focuses on the prime factors of the communicative situation, namely the participants and the message. On the one hand, we are interested in the author/narrator’s intention, because this determines the strategies of text production, such as the subject matter, the stylistic devices or the non-verbal elements. On the other hand, we analyze the expectations of the addressee (a certain type of reader or the general public), as we consider “that the text as a communicative act is completed by the receiver” (Nord 2005: 18).
