Presa ca istorie alternativă în Moromeții, de Marin Preda: Aplicații pe texte literare

Abstract

The present study casts a few beams on the fact of press in the novel Moromeţii, by Marin Preda. We shall not limit ourselves to just narrating the commentaries on the newspaper information form Poiana lui Iocan (Iocan’s clearing) but we intend to highlight the double role of the written press in the evolution of the main character: the history reduced to the dimensions of the rural, on the one hand and the newspaper as a pretext for claustration, for an acute state of denial, on the other hand. We shall see that the both instances belong to history: the former, no matter how goodwilling is built artificially, so it will not stand the seige of the latter which is cruel and irrevocable.
