FROM IMAGING TO SLANDER AND DISHONOR
FROM IMAGING TO SLANDER AND DISHONOR

Summary/Abstract: Instead of the controversy of ideas, some journalists (and writers) preferred misinformation, mystification of the truth, trampling on any moral principle, only out of malice, less often out of professional envy, not taking into account the imminence of an intellectual "death" or professional career. For example, horrified by the plagiarism indented by an obscure publicist (Caion), the great classic I.L. Caragiale chose Germany as its residence and oasis of peace after 1900. Exile in a civilized country where the law is obeyed and abuses and imposture restricted can be a solution to disappearing from a tainted, "poisoned" world. Sometimes for the systematic "attacks" in the press, but illogical, unfounded, the issuer will pay / suffer hard. Specifically, the successful journalist, PamfilȘeicaru, opened many battlefields in the press of the time, flirting in his uncontrolled pride, with the effigy of a literary critic, venturing into the realms of literary and grammatical chronicle. For his malice, the moment of revenge comes at the address of contemporary titans like Rebreanu and Camil Petrescu, not from the annoyed ones, but from unsuspected horizons, so that a drastic sentence will be avoided by taking refuge in Spain and Germany.
