Loisir şi viaţă de societate în vechiul regat
Leisure and Social Life in the Old Kingdom of Romania

Summary/Abstract: The researches on the way of spending the leisure time and the attitude towards it has as the main aim the changes of Romanian society in the second half of the 19th century. The attitude towards leisure is relevant for a series of different realities, such as the economical stage and the adjustment capacity of the society, or for the existence of some moral and religious norms. The notion of leisure can be applied nowadays more or less to the urban area, because in the rural areas the leisure as a modern category is almost absent, mainly because of the economical and social conditions and also because of the rural conservationism. Romanian society has brought a refinement from the point of view of the attitude towards the leisure, and a great variety of ways of spending one's time privately or in society. Ironically, this development has grown with the noblemen’s poverty, which was surpassed by the bourgeois, a dynamic social class more and more prosperous.
