Renumiții autori ruși Turgheniev și Gogol au descris cu măiastra lor pană vastele stepe ale patriei lor Turgheniev în Memoriile unui vânător și Gogol în Taras Bulba. Aceste admirabile opuri ce le‑am citit încă în tinerețile mele m‑au îndemnat să scriu și eu impresiunile unei vânătoare săvârșite de mine în tovărășie cu mai mulți amici ai mei prin Basarabia patria mea mai restrânsă începând de la Chișinău și cutreierând stepele bătrânului Bugeac până la gurile Dunării.

Cea mai original?? ?i deci cea mai valoroas?? pies?? na?ional?? este S?nziana ?i Pepelea feerie din care se trag viitoarele basme dramatizate din literatura rom?n??... Ultimele lucr??ri dramatice ale poetului aduc un progres de ad?ncime nea?teptat. Pe l?ng?? maturitatea tehnic?? apare facultatea crea?iei de oameni. Desigur c?? Despot-Vod?? se nutre?te din teatrul lui Victor Hugo cu toate acestea drama lui Alecsandri e original?? ?i dac?? e vorba de vreo ?nr?urire ea e din parte mai degrab?? a piesei lui Hasdeu R??zvan ?i Vidra pe care Alecsandri o numea ?n deriziune ?dramul“ de?i aceea deschidea seria dramelor istorice rom?ne. Marele patos be?ia liric?? ?i retoric?? din teatrul lui Hugo n-au trecut la Alecsandri ?nlocuite prin dizerta?ii poetice de ton minor cu prea mult?? frunz?? de cuvinte ?i prea pu?ine mari imagini. ?n schimb viziunea lumii e mai pozitiv??. Se contureaz?? de la ?nceput conflictul fundamental ?i tradi?ional din teatrul istoric rom?nesc care este nu ?ntre indivizi ci ?ntre ambi?ia voievodului pe de o parte ?i rezisten?a obiceiurilor ?i a corpurilor constituite pe de alta...

Om foarte bine inzestrat in ce priveste largimea cercului sau de vedere energia in exprimarea sentimentelor mladierea in tratarea temelor celor mai deosebite entuziasmul unei forme de un idealism inalt in sfarsit bogatia de cuvinte si usurinta de vers el scrie in acesti ani (pana la 1848 n. n.) cari sunt si cei mai buni ai talentului sau o intreaga opera poetica.

Fic?iunea a fost blând? cu mine: mi-a ar?tat cum traversau ora?ele crupe de dame, pe când boschetarii dormeau, mi-a ar?tat cum un om poate s? fie luat din genunchi ?i a?ezat într-un pat de femeie, a?ezat acolo ca un semn de întrebare. ?i tot ea mi-a ar?tat ce r?mâne când secunda se termin? ?i cum se poate racorda timpul la ritmul b?t?ilor inimii unei necunoscute dup? o criz? de astm, ?i cum s? supravie?uiesc tr?ind singur ca un Dumnezeu bolnav, ?i cum se pot ridica scriitorii, ca ni?te duhuri, din ma?inile lor de scris – în vremea vi?eilor de aur. În povestiri am d?râmat temple, aici am fost înjunghiat la o r?scruce de t?ceri, aici am fost cel mai bun. Toate aceste texte m-au vindecat atât cât puteam fi vindecat de mine însumi. Andrei Cr?ciun

Dup D. Cantemir, a doua mare personalitate a literaturii romne este fr ndoial I. Eliade Rdulescu, scriitor cu suflet ardent, creator pretutindeni, desfurat deopotriv n via i n art, nzestrat cu mari nsuiri i cu tot att de mari cusururi. […] Eliade e un mistic la modul dantesc, cu uriae viziuni profetice. Anatolida sau Omul i forele ar fi fost adevrata biblic, poemul n 20 de cnturi al omului, de la creaie pn la victoria asupra Forei, amestec de soteriologie i program social, soluiunea n veac a problemei sociale fiind totdeodat cheia mntuirii spiritului, a cetii eterne.“ – George Clinescu, Istoria literaturii romne de la origini pn n prezent

Mi s-a cerut o biografie, dar dac? citi?i cartea ve?i avea parte de una. Mai bine v? spun pe scurt povestea c?r?ii, care n-a fost carte de la început. Au fost zilele ?i nop?ile mele, a?a cum le-am tr?it eu ?i-ai mei. Printre sârme ?i portocali. A fost o perioad? în care a? fi vrut s? uit unele întâmpl?ri, apoi am în?eles c? nu le voi putea ?terge din amintire ?i c? de fapt nici nu vreau. Le-am povestit, la început cu îndoiala c? cineva ar în?elege impactul pe care le-au avut pentru noi, apoi cu mirarea c? pe cineva intereseaz? aceast? poveste. M-au uimit reac?iile, am început s? scormonesc în memorie ?i m-am trezit scriind ceva despre care n-am crezut c? va fi o carte. Va fi, totu?i, va avea coper?i frumoase ?i câteva file din care, dac? le ve?i citi, ve?i ?ti c? sârmele aveau ghimpi, iar portocalii erau plini de culoare ?i parfum. În carte apare familia mea ?i vreau s? le mul?umesc pentru îng?duin?a de-a folosi amintirile lor în cuprinsul acestor pagini.

Exist? ?n activitatea publicistic? a lui Eminescu trei perioade distincte ?n cadrul c?rora putem fixa ?i c?teva momente mai semnificative pentru o problem? sau alta. Criteriul de baz? pe care ne ?ntemeiem ?n periodizarea noastr? ?l constituie schimb?rile intervenite ?n statutul personal al poetului ?n cursul activit??ii sale scriitorice?ti, schimb?ri care hot?r?sc ?n fond orientarea ?i caracterul ei. Publicistica eminescian? din prima perioad? se circumscrie ?ntre ianuarie 1870, c?nd public? primul articol, O scriere critic? ?n Albina din Pesta ?i mai 1876, c?nd intr? ?n redac?ia Curierului de Ia?i, foaia ie?ean?. Vom distinge aici o publicistic? a epocii studiilor universitare la Viena, c?nd Eminescu colaboreaz? la publica?iile rom?nilor din Imperiul austro-ungar ?i se situeaz? pe pozi?iile acestora ?n ap?rarea institu?iilor culturale, critic? dualismul ?i se afirm? ca un exponent al "tinerilor" ?n lupta pentru ?nf?ptuirea idealului de unitate na?ional? a poporului rom?n. Eminescu se manifest? ?n direc?ii multiple, de la articolul pe teme culturale la editorialul de orientare politic? ?i lansarea de apeluri c?tre public pentru solidaritatea na?ional?. Pozi?ia sa este a t?n?rului intelectual rom?n, ?nsufle?it de lupta poporului s?u ?i acest av?nt tineresc se reflect? ?i ?n publicistica sa. Acestei prime perioade se impune s?-i al?tur?m ?i un al doilea moment care coincide cu activitatea de bibliotecar la Biblioteca Central? din Ia?i. Activitatea publicistic? de acum este redus? ca extindere ?i are, ?n chip evident, caracter c?rtur?resc. Eminescu ?ine, tot acum, ?i conferin?a Influen?a austriac? asupra rom?nilor din Principate, ?n care sintetizeaz? ideile din articolele anterioare ?i din ?nsemn?rile din manuscrise ?i schi?eaz? un program pentru viitoarea sa activitate publicistic?. Perioada a doua a gazet?riei lui Eminescu o ?nscriem ?ntre 19 mai 1876, c?nd avem date sigure c? poetul intr? ca redactor la Curierul de Ia?i, ?i ultima s?pt?m?n? din octombrie 1877, c?nd p?r?se?te redac?ia foii ie?ene. Se produce acum o schimbare fundamental? ?n statutul personal al poetului, ?n sensul c? devine ziarist profesionist. Foaia ie?ean? era, pe de alt? parte, o publica?ie oficial?, cu o apari?ie de trei ori pe s?pt?m?n? ?i care rezerv? p?r?ii neoficiale, din cele patru pagini, una singur?. Concep?ia lui Eminescu despre menirea ziarelor este cea a ?nainta?ilor s?i Asachi, Kog?lniceanu, Alecsandri, Negruzzi, care f?ceau din publica?iile lor organe de pres? cu caracter enciclopedic. Pe acest drum merge ?i Eminescu ?i ?n acea singur? pagin? o unei foi oficiale face cronic? de politic? extern?, cronic? de politic? intern?, cronic? cultural?, cronic? dramatic? ?i artistic?. Nic?ieri ?n gazet?ria lui Eminescu nu se vede mai bine ca la Curierul de Ia?i ce poate realiza geniul cu mijloace materiale reduse ?i ?ntr-un spa?iu tipografic restr?ns. Activitatea publicistic? a poetului surprinde prin diversitatea problemelor abordate, prin seriozitatea ?i buna informare ?i prin modul de-a polemiza ?n chestiunile controversate. Aici, la Curierul de Ia?i – ?i nu la Timpul – ?l g?sim pe Eminescu cronicarul de politic? extern?, cronicarul cultural ?i cronicarul dramatic. Perioada a treia a gazet?riei lui Eminescu este cuprins? ?ntre octombrie 1877, data intr?rii ?n redac?ia Timpului, cotidianul bucure?tean, ?i iunie 1883, pr?bu?irea sa intelectual?. Aparent nu se schimb? nimic ?n statutul personal al poetului, de vreme ce trece ca ziarist profesionist de la foaia ie?ean? la cotidianul bucure?tean. ?i totu?i situa?ia nu se prezint? a?a. Poetul intr? ?n redac?ia Timpului, ca simplu redactor, cum era ?i I. Slavici, la chemarea c?ruia p?r?se?te foaia ie?ean?, trece apoi ?n fruntea ziarului, ca redactor-?ef, ca s? ocupe, ?n final, postul de prim-redactor. Eminescu ??i asum? sarcina, la intrarea ?n redac?ia Timpului, s? fac? cronica de politic? intern? ?i se ocup? cu intermiten?e de evenimentele interna?ionale ?i de mi?carea cultural?. Publicistica sa cunoa?te, sub aspectul diversit??ii, o ?ngustare evident? ?n raport cu cea de la foaia ie?ean?. Dar dac? la cotidianul bucure?tean nu ne ?nt?mpin? peisajul caleidoscopic din foaia ie?ean?, se impune aten?iei ?nc? din primele articole amplificarea discursului critic ?i verva polemic?. Publicistica eminescian? cunoa?te desf??urarea cea mai larg? ?ntre februarie 1880 ?i decembrie 1881. Acum Eminescu este redactor-?ef al cotidianului bucure?tean ?i ?l transform? ?n organ de pres? al orient?rii sale politice. Poetul sus?ine, ?n zeci de articole, primatul muncii ?n promovarea ?n ierarhia social?, ia ap?rarea "claselor pozitive" ?i critic? ?n termeni necru??tori "p?tura superpus?" ?i demagogia din via?a politic?. Eminescu p?r?se?te conducerea Timpului ?n ianuarie 1882, ca urmare a apropierii "sincerilor conservatori" de "sincerii liberali" ?i a form?rii "opozi?iei coalizate". Poetul trece r?spunderea conducerii ziarului lui Grigore G. P?ucescu, membru marcant al "opozi?iei coalizate" ?i r?m?ne prim-redac

De ce at?t de mul?i b?rba?i le agreseaz? pe femeile pe care le iubesc ?i, mai ales, de ce partenerele maltratate se ?ntorc, totu?i, la b?t?u?ii lor? S? fie doar o consecin?? a diferen?elor de gen? Sau doar un efect al ?neputin?ei ?nv??ate“ ?i al terorii cople?itoare din sufletul victimei? Cu o experien?? clinic? de peste 25 de ani ?n psihoterapia persoanelor abuzate, David Celani eviden?iaz? caren?ele teoriilor actuale asupra agresivit??ii ?n cuplu ?i reg?nde?te, la un nivel mai profund, sensibila tem? a violen?ei domestice.Psihologul american aplic? teoria rela?iilor de obiect (Fairbairn), pentru a demonstra c? femeile b?tute se simt incon?tient atrase de partenerii b?t?u?i. Aceast? atrac?ie paradoxal? este explicat? prin tulbur?rile de personalitate care ?i-au pus amprenta asupra victimelor abuzate ?i neglijate ?n copil?rie. Complementar, cartea analizeaz? ?i personalit??ile narcisice ale abuzatorilor care ??i acoper? teama de abandon prin controlul excesiv ?i brutal al consoartelor.?n fine, Celani ofer? o serie de repere utile pentru psihoterapia pacientelor maltratate. Un tratament eficient va trebui s? ?nl?ture, cu mult tact, tiparele autodistructive ale victimelor, adic? acele ?patternuri“ bazate pe teama de abandon ?i pe fascina?ia fa?? de promisiunea unei viitoare iubiri oferite de agresorul care pare s?-?i regrete fapta sau de noi parteneri la fel de violen?i.

Alexandra, o adolescent? rebel?, este trimis? de p?rin?i s? ??i petreac? vacan?a de var? ?ntr-un sat din Transilvania, pentru a fi ?ndep?rtat? de o iubire considerat? imoral?. Odat? ajuns? ?n V., ea este atras? de pove?tile localnicilor legate de o crim? s?v?r?it? ?n urm? cu mai mult de un veac: contesa Aneke fusese acuzat? de incest ?i vr?jitorie ?i ucis? ?n p?dure. Alexandra porne?te pe urmele contesei, hot?r?t? s? afle ce s-a ?nt?mplat cu adev?rat. Castelul ascunde mistere la fiecare col?… Pe m?sur? ce fapte ?i personaje stranii ies la iveal?, Alexandra ??i d? seama c? are ?n comun cu frumoasa vr?jitoare mai mult dec?t ?i-ar fi imaginat, inclusiv iubirea ei secret? ?i interzis?. Va reu?i Alexandra s? salveze aceast? iubire ?i ?n final propria via??, sau va avea soarta tragic? a Anekei? Dou? lumi distincte se ?ntrep?trund: lumea adolescen?ilor de azi, cu Facebook, concerte rock, tatuaje ?i pierce-uri, ?i lumea contesei disp?rute, cu intrigi de curte ?i pove?ti uitate.
