Summary/Abstract: An analysis of the reception models of writer Marin Preda (1922-1980) and his literary work, right after the December 1989 Revolution, provides a model of perceiving all changes triggered by turmoil—in this case, the revolution—and their subsequent impact on literature in particular and culture in general. His writings have endured due to some kind of internal barometer that has stood the test of time and survived the ongoing evolutions subject to inherently emerging controversies that contributed, paradoxically, to a revival of the meanings of his work of art.
