NICOLAE BALOTĂ – AN EUPHORIONIC SPIRIT
NICOLAE BALOTĂ – AN EUPHORIONIC SPIRIT

Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Balotă forms and transforms himself as a literary critic early on. From his adolescence he begins to manifest the ability to select, define and analyze values, meaning his critique spirit manifests. The Euphorionic ideal to which he adheres as a member of the CLS during his college remains to Balotă a cause to which he remains faithful despite the years of censorship, chicanes and prison. After the end of his detention, the appointment as chief director of „Familia” gives him the opportunity to transform the magazine into a publication that will use the masks of critique to promote these Euphorionic values. As such, he sets a conscious direction, promoting the aesthetic and moral values and countering Marxism by means of literary models (being aware that the apparent freedom is not full), which are found all throughout his work.
