Produktbeschreibung
Written in the interwar period and published in 1927, this psychological thriller captured the imagination of Romanian readers. The book opens with a shock as Puiu, an aristocrat, murders his wife after returning from a ball at the palace. To avoid a public trial and prison sentence, his father instead arranges to have him committed to a mental asylum. Discussions with his psychiatrist reveal the madness and passion of Puiu through the imagery of the wild Ciuleandra dance of the countryside, where he met his future wife. Unfortunately for Puiu, though, his psychiatrist also knew and loved her first... It is also a story of obsessive love and paints an interesting picture of the lives of the Romanian aristocracy at the beginning of the 20th century. The work echoes the world depicted by Russian writers such as Dostoevsky and Gogol, as moments of high drama and emotional intensity are punctuated with ironic descriptions of the corrupt boyar class.
Autorenporträt
Liviu Rebreanu (1885-1944) is one of the most important literary voices in Romania's interwar period. Hailing from rural Transylvania, Rebreanu was a novelist and prose writer, a playwright and translator, an iconic figure in the world of letters and a member of the golden generation of modernist writers alongside Mihail Sadoveanu (1880-1961), Camil Petrescu (1894-1957), Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu (1876-1955), Mircea Eliade (1907-86), Mateiu I. Caragiale (1885-1936), and Panait Istrati (1884-1935), a generation that shaped the evolution of Romanian literature well into the postwar period and beyond. Rebreanu's early experimentation with various novelistic formats was crucial for the success of contemporary and subsequent writers alike and demonstrated the maturity of the modern Romanian language and national psyche to engage with the ample breadth of the architecture and style of the novel.
