Father-Son Relationship in the Memoirs Father Vasile in 73 Episodes and XIV Letters by Vladimir Beşleagă

Summary/Abstract: Memoirs are often centred on rebuilding one’s coming of age story, through the child-parent relationship, from the perspective of four combinations: the son writes about the father, about the mother; the daughter writes about the father, the mother. This type of memoirs justifies an almost universal motivation: children feel the need to rediscover their parents through a process of remembrance for a conciliatory effect. In this regard, the memoirs of the Bassarabian canonical writer Vladimir Beşleagă described in Father Vasile in 73 Episodes and XIV Letters are more than a documentary fixation of the historical framework from the left bank of the Nistru river, of the authentic language and sketches that marked their existence. The author confesses and lets the father himself speak through his letters, in order to reconcile with his parent’s way of being, with his own perception of his father.This article aims at highlighting the characteristics of the father-son relationship evoked in the book of memoirs Father Vasile in 73 episodes and XIV letters, in the light of the narrator’s need to forgive and accept, to free himself from his own frustrations and to give new dimensions to this relationship.
