Summary/Abstract: The complete work of the writer Ionel Teodoreanu comprises 27 titles: journalism and memoirs, poetry and novels. They represent the irradiating center of his work, being 17 on the whole, of which only "Let it come Bazarca!" is published posthumously. The time of his literary debut is marked by the encounter with Garabet Ibrăileanu, who will then become his mentor and friend, capturing his portrait in "The Shadow Mass" and "The Return In Time". Being a lawyer is a source of inspiration recognized by the writer in his memoirs, from which he took his human typologies and cases that he then transformed artistically and became literary cases. Literature and law were complementary, they did not exclude each other, the oratoria by which Ionel Teodoreanu was able to perform in the courtroom. The connection between the writer's biography and his novels is obvious, and the memorial volumes are also relevant, so this direction will be exploited by the multitude of the author's selves projected in his characters. The originality of Teodoreanu's writings is mentioned in the pages of Demostene Botez, who considers him "our only youth writer", his strengths being the breath, the surprise, the joy, the free energy of youth.
