Summary/Abstract: This study approaches Panait Istrati’s first years of press writing; in his militant political and social articles we can especially identify the foreshadowing of his future literary works. In perspective, these nuclei filled with really expressive authenticity, but otherwise void of literary intentionality, seem defining for the writer’s personality, its stylistic aspects included. Some of the coverage episodes in this period announce, arrestingly, Geo Bogza’s finest pages on labor accidents in the “oil landscape” and they plant the seed of Istrati’s typical literature of the revolt.
