Summary/Abstract: The First World War had echoes of significant esthetic relevance in the Romanian literary life, influencing the development, thematic specter and form of the narrative discourse, as well as the vision upon reality specific to the writers from the inter-war period. Novelists like Liviu Rebreanu, Mihail Sadoveanu, Camil Petrescu, Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu and Cezar Petrescu have evoked the atmosphere of the war, as well as its dramatic aspects and traumas, transcribing, in memorable pages, representative human destinies and portraits which were subjected to the tragedy of death and to the impact of mass-massacre.
