Fascinaţia definirii de sine: A.E.Baconsky la 90 de ani de la naştere
Fascination of Self –Defining:A.E.Bakonsky at 90 years from Birth

Summary/Abstract: This essay is dedicated to one of the most important dissident writers from Romania, A.E.Baconsky, who decided not to leave his country, but to activate and to write against the communist system. All his life he was determined in creating a literary work turned against the political rules and especially his novel Biserica neagră was considered to be an important anti-totalitarian novel, expressing the dystopian atmosphere under the communist power inside Romania and not only. His poetry was, as well, overlapped to the official pseudo-aesthetical rules, A.E.Baconsky being the creator of the image of the West as a possible utopia; this attitude was not accepted by the communist system, so that in his last about 10 years his literary work was strictly censured. A.E.Baconsky died at the terrible earthquake in 1977 and the history of Romanian literature preserved the symbol of a dissident writer who all his life tried to express in the literary work his desire to define himself as an identity between cultures, countries, friends, enemies and, above all, an identity under a personal myth: that of solitude (loneliness).
