Summary/Abstract: Born in 1935 in Bessarabia, a province in the Kingdom of Romania situated on the left bank of the Prut river, Paul Goma faced the tragical historical experiences from his early years, during the Second World War. When he was 9 years old, he took refuge together with his parents in Romania. Being a true nonconformist, he was harassed by the Securitate since high school years. He was arrested during the Hungarian Uprising in 1956, when he was a student within the University of Bucharest. He went on trial and sentenced to 2 years in prison for „public agitation”. In 1958, he was released and placed under house arrest in Lătești village, in the Bărăgan Plain also known as „Romanian Siberia”.
