This essay follows the evolution of Vladimir Colin between the two waypoints and reviews some of Colin’s key texts – from his early ideological and theoretical essays to the short stories and novels that can be seen, in spite of the numerous flaws that are related to the ideological nature of the texts, but also to their uneven aesthetical value, as refference points for the Romanian Fantastic and Fantasy literature.

But in the same period she wrote and published also other forms of war literature, with a strong propaganda effect, in Romania and abroad, namely My country, which appeared in London, New York and Toronto in 1916, also in a French edition, in Paris. In 1917 she published also a volume during the exile in Iasi where she is rewriting partly her diary and her style is strongly infused with personal issues and emotions. This volume contains a few texts published in the front journal România, so with a broad and special audience: soldiers in the trenches and in the hospitals.

THE SERMONS OF PELBARTUS OF THEMESWAR ABOUT SAINT STEPHEN OF HUNGARYPages: 265-270Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2018/1-4/20_A_Baneu.pdf Abstract: The literary subgenre known as “mirrors for princes” is difficult to define precisely, given the multiplicity of forms that it can take. My paper tries to see to what extent a series of sermons dedicated to a ruler that has been sanctified can be comprised under this genre. After analyzing the three sermons that Pelbartus of Themeswar dedicated to the feast of Saint Stephen the Great of Hungary, I conclude that, although the three texts are influenced to a great degree by this type of writings, they cannot be included in the literary subgenre of mirrors for princes unless the sphere of the definition, which seems too narrow to begin with, is extended.

Tratatul înlocuieşte vechile clasificări ale activităţilor în otium şi negotium şi adaugă o dimensiune etică, datorită căreia aceste categorii capătă atât forme corespunzătoare, cât şi necorespunzătoare. Distincţia dintre formele corespunzătoare şi cele necorespunzătoare de otium şi negotium este determinată de un principiu raţional în viziunea lui Ioan. Cu toate acestea, în context istoric mai larg, şi un număr de indicii intratextuale ridică suspiciunea că Policraticus ar fi putut funcţiona, de fapt, ca o satiră la adresa lui Henric…

An entire philosophical system was built around this concept, from the Classic Era to the Renaissance, and the ideology behind it represented the answer to certain existential questions that a collective unconscious had at a certain point. In spite of the many political and cultural differences between the Spanish and Romanian context, the prince reflected in both authors’ works seems…

Within the first half of the 16th century, in both Wallachia and Spain, prince Neagoe Basarab and Antonio de Guevara wrote two different mirrors and although they were unaware of each other´s work, a detailed analysis offers us an interesting panorama of the ethical values that reigned in two different corners of Europe.
