Marin Preda

Latina gintă e regină
Între-ale lumii ginte mari;
Ea poartă-n frunte-o stea divină
Lucind prin timpii seculari.

Menirea ei tot înainte
Măreţ îndreaptă paşii săi.
Ea merge-n capul altor ginte
Vărsând lumină-n urma ei.

Latina gintă e vergină,
Cu farmec dulce, răpitor;
Străinu-n cale-i se înclină
Şi pe genunchi cade cu dor.
Frumoasă, vie, zâmbitoare,
Sub cer senin, în aer cald,
Ea se mirează-n splendid soare,
Se scaldă-n mare de smarald.

Latina gintă are parte
De-ale pământului comori
Şi mult voios ea le împarte
Cu celelalte-a ei surori.
Dar e teribilă-n mânie
Când braţul ei liberator
Loveşte-n cruda tiranie
Şi luptă pentru-al său onor.

În ziua cea de judecată,
Când faţă-n cer cu Domnul sfânt
Latina gintă-a fi-ntrebată
Ce a făcut pe-acest pământ?
Ea va răspunde sus şi tare:
„O! Doamne,-n lume cât am stat,
În ochii săi plini de-admirare
Pe tine te-am reprezentat!”

Any reply other than Caragiale, Sorescu and Arghezi is pure /pol/tardation.

I like Arghezi's "Fat Frumos" about the assassination of Codreanu.

That's bullshit. He was opposed to the Iron Guard.

>>17597891
Greuceanu has such a Tolkien middle earth feel to it. Maybe because both are rooted in myth and folk tales.

Ionesco

Fuck off Ioan Ioanescu

>>17598034
He is basically a Romanian mix of Hegel and Heidegger.

Based, romanians are the best.

But not this one >>17597376 Pol homosexuals like him because he looks like a barby, but czl was a brainlet, even auth romanians know that.

>>17598989

That's the only worthwhile romanian. You don't have to be a nazi fascist hitlerist to feel Codreanu's sainthood

I've always considered Corneliu Popescu's English translations to be the best it will ever be. Too bad he died in the 1977 earthquake.

>>17601441
>https://www.estcomp.ro/eminescu/popescu.html
It's a much better translation than I expected to be honest. I speedread a bit through Lucefarul and outside of Catalin and Catalina ruining a couple rhymes it's fairly consistent. Good to know that Romanian lit can be appreciated worldwide, though I'll now have to investigate whether Caragiale's plays are any good in English...

>>17597365
imagine not writing about the hyperborean tradition of romanians

Romanians tell me, how troubled is your beautiful country? Someone told me there is no hope because the youth are all trying to be tattooed rappers like some arab in paris, which is hilarious but sad

Is it true? Will the boomers die and be replaced by a generation of rapping mongrels and rich people who can afford to live in the big city and benefit from corrupt government?

>>17602149
No, Romania will turn conservative just like the rest of Europe and it'll go back to its orthodox-spiritual-legionnaires roots.

>>17602149
same for all of the countries in the world, we are all doomed

>>17597394
ceausescu didnt write anything of note. This is how I know you’re just listing the only romanians you know of. I wish people wouldnt come into threads about things they have not looked into for even a second and spout off nonsense.

>>17602187
I don't think that he knew how to write

>>17602187
That said. My favorite are Ovidiu Verdeş, Mircea Eliade, Max Blecher.

>>17602187
Imagine getting filtered by a fucking puppet dictator

>>17602212
who was ceausescu a puppet for? Retard. And filtered? By what? He didn’t write anything. Stupid fucking trolls

>>17602252
For USSR. And he did write, ask leftypol if you need someone else to teach you about your own country.

>>17602265
Ceausescu railed against the USSR all the fucking time. He also made many deals with the US and tried to play in the middle of both powers. He even made a deal with the fucking IMF to stick it to Russia. He was a lot of things, but a puppet for the USSR? Not even close.

>>17602276
Then why was Romania exactly like every other Warsaw pact country and still is exactly the same?

>>17602294
> Relations remained strained during the Cold War era while Romania was under communist influence. US bilateral relations with Romania began to improve in the early 1960s with the signing of an agreement providing for partial settlement of American property claims. Cultural, scientific, and educational exchanges were initiated, and in 1964 the legations of both nations were promoted to full embassies.[7]

>After Communist Party General Secretary Nicolae Ceaușescu began to distance Romania from Soviet foreign policy, as in Romania's continued diplomatic relations with Israel and denunciation of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, President Richard Nixon paid an official visit to Romania in August 1969. Despite political differences, dimplomacy continued between US and Romanian leaders throughout the 1970s, culminating in the 1978 state visit to Washington by President Ceauşescu and his wife.[7]

>In 1972, a consular convention to facilitate the protection of citizens and their property in both countries was signed. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) facilities were granted, and Romania became eligible for US Export-Import Bank credits.[7]

>A trade agreement signed in April 1975 accorded most favored nation (MFN) status to Romania under section 402 of the Trade Reform Act of 1974 (the Jackson-Vanik amendment that links MFN to a country's performance on emigration). This status was renewed yearly after a congressional review confirmed a presidential determination that stated Romania was making progress toward freedom of emigration.[7]

You’re literally just a retard who knows nothing, not a single thing, about Romanian history. Romania very much distanced itself to the Warsaw Pact and USSR. It wasn’t the only socialist country to do so, countries like Yugoslavia, North Korea, Albania, and China all went their own ways. I hate that you baited me into this conversation. Also Romania is not at all the same as other former-socialist countries today. It did not have at all the shock therapy economics of the 90s or anything similar.

>>17602149
The most popular genre in America being popular in Romania isn't exactly special. Sure, there's many problems in Romania, such as, but not limited to, corruption, marginalized communities and lack of education in those communities, but kids listening to trap isn't spelling out doom for the country.

>>17602314
Romania looks like a Soviet state: same architecture, same culture, same bureaucracy, same food, same people. You can copy paste Wikipedia all you want and think yourself to be special cause Ceausescu sold your country to both USSR and the US, but at the end of the day your parents were still taught Russian in schools.

>>17602335

Not that anon but such as? inb4 Gypsies

>After coming under communist control in 1948, Romania was closely aligned with the international policies and goals of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. But after mid-1952, when Gheorghiu-Dej had gained full control of the party and had become head of state, Romania began a slow disengagement from Kremlin domination, being careful not to incur the suspicions or disapproval of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. Soviet troops left Romania in 1958, and no Warsaw Pact troops were allowed on Romanian territory after 1962. By that period, the Soviet Union and Romania established SovRoms, which were the new tax-exempt Soviet-Romanian economic corporations that helped the reconstruction of Romania, but also contributed to draining Romania's resources, until they were dismantled in 1956: albeit, some lasted until 1975 with the main focus to assure Soviet access to resources like Uranium.

>During the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, Romania refused to take part in the operations, and Ceaușescu publicly condemned the actions of the other member states of the pact. The Romanian forces essentially quit participating in joint Warsaw Pact field exercises in the late 1960s. At the same time, Ceaușescu announced that Romania would no longer put its military forces under the Warsaw Pact's joint command, even during peacetime maneuvers.

>In 1976, Ceausescu received Leonid Brezhnev in Bucharest—the first official visit by a Soviet leader since 1955. The final communique of the meeting reflected continuing disagreements between the two countries, as Romania refused to side with the Soviets in their dispute with China. In 1978, after visiting China, Ceausescu attended a Warsaw Pact summit meeting in Moscow, where he rejected a Soviet proposal that member countries increase their military expenditures. On his return to Bucharest, Ceausescu explained the refusal by stating that any increase in military expenditure was contrary to the socialist countries' effort to reduce military tensions in Europe.[16]

>Perhaps because of Ceausescu's uncooperative attitude, a 1980 Romanian attempt to secure supplies of energy and raw materials from the Soviet Union and other Comecon countries failed when those countries demanded world market prices and payment in hard currency. Nor would the Soviet Union guarantee that it would increase or even maintain existing levels of oil exports to Romania for the following year.

>The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan caused Romania to distance itself further from Brezhnev. When the UN General Assembly voted on a resolution calling for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Soviet troops, Romania broke with its Warsaw Pact allies and abstained. And one month later, at a meeting of communist states in Sofia, Romania joined the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) in refusing to endorse the invasion.[16]
