Summary/Abstract: This text examines the relations between N. Steinhardt and the two totalitarian regimes of the 20th century, with a special stress on the communist totalitarian system. It is based on both the interwar texts in periodicals and volumes published by N. Steinhardt, as well as on the texts publish after the war, especially on the new version of The Happiness Diary (The Happiness Diary. The Manuscript from Rohia) [Jurnalului fericirii (Jurnalul fericirii. Manuscrisul de la Rohia)], recently published by the Polirom Publishing House. Commemorating 100 years from the birth of N. Steinhardt, we want to offer, through this essay, the image of a lucid intellectual (a real critic intellectual), constantly immersed in the fi ght with the 20th century utopias
