![]() ![]() The book was written in Romanian, which greatly limits its readership. ![]() I wrote this review in English because I wanted to. ![]() Having the quotes in a full format (not just one line, but a paragraph of five-ten line) it gave me more autonomy into the text, almost as if I were invited to draw my own conclusions and see if I agree with hers. I began to understand the logic behind the framing. The first time I have seen this method, I have not appreciated it. There are chunks of texts taken from her sources between which she writes her own words. Father came to be the figure of Romania chocked by the tentacles of extremist thought, after the son escaped to the freed West that promised a society not as blinded by ideology. She talks about the relationship he had had with his father and the numerous depictions and appearances of the pattern figure in his plays. She brings to light the years Ionescu had spent in Romania and wrote in Romanian. The book written by Marta Petreu is a well composed analysis that goes through the background of Ionesco`s formation. It talked about Eugène Ionesco, the one that reached fame with his French plays that were inspired by the dark years of the extremist ideologies (right or left) that plagued Europe at the beginning of the 20th century (and they are not quite gone, to this day). ![]()
