Summary/Abstract: The 1960s and 70s are an interesting period in the literary history of Romania. The present paper is a part of more extensive research on Romanian novels from this period with regard to time, space andopposition strategies therein. The novels disclose secrets about thecommunist rule of the 1950s fraught with concentration camps,repressions, rigid censorship and ideologisation of culture at alllevels. Authors faced the challenge to try and slip in critical remarksabout the new ruling class along with criticism of the past. Duringthe period discussed in the paper there was a significant number ofliterary texts in Romania which were characterized by documentary features and bold socio-political criticism.
