NICOLAE STEINHARDT. BIOGRAPHICAL PORTRAIT
NICOLAE STEINHARDT. BIOGRAPHICAL PORTRAIT

Summary/Abstract: Once in a while, certain personalities appear in our history who stand out from the ordinary and break the mould, impressing the public not only through the writings they have left behind, but also through their very existence, which becomes a model for others to follow. Although they are subject to the laws of nature and the codes imposed by society, their lives and work do not go unnoticed, destined to be forgotten, but on the contrary, they shake the consciences of beings, changing both mentalities and destinies. One such privileged and eloquent person is Nicolae Steinhardt. Clad in a monk’s robe, engaged in an intermittent battle with the windmills of crazy history, the humble monk from Rohia exposed the communist lie and spoke the truth, taking the Cross as his protection and Christ as his companion. Thanks to Nicolae Steinhardt, suffering became a true path to salvation for those tested by life’s obstacles, locked in prisons both narrow and wide. The paper combines documentary, Christian and psychological aspects, reconstructing the essayist's destiny, but also the way in which he was perceived.
