Calendarele universului rural românesc (I)
The Calendars of the Romanian Rural Universe (I)

Summary/Abstract: The panorama of readings in the second half of the 19th century is dominated, particularly in rural areas, by calendars. The content of these calendars stands out, beyond the chronological notions and suggested periodicity, through their targeted approach, which is differentiated according to various socio-professional sectors. In this article, we aim to characterize the most frequently encountered such publications in the rural environment of Transylvania, offering, through the analysis of the published texts, an intrusion into the social life of the time or a small fresco of daily life. The solid existence of these publications also reflects the interest shown by organizations such as ASTRA towards the development of the largest and the least literate sector of the time – the villagers.
