Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to exploit the way in which the daily life of Romanians, in the first two years after the Great Union, is reflected in the satire and humor press of the time, Furnica magazine. The magazine, through the ironic, satirical and humorous pamphlets, exposes the situations most commonly encountered in the years immediately following the Great Union, such as rising inflation and speculation, the corruptibility of public officials, the disinterest of the politicians towards the real needs of the population, immorality, and infidelity and so on.
