Summary/Abstract: Affected by many political and thus social events, the Romanian society inthe middle of the XIXth centurywent through many pressures, this being a particularly important period in terms of its changes and evolution both nationally and culturally. It is a period in which the intellectuals of the time try to get involved, to find solutions for the freedom and emancipation of Romanians. Moreover, many writings from the three Romanian countries reflect and denounce the events, abuses and aspirations of freedom and union.Subsequently, out of the desire to leave to future generations notes, sometimes detailed, and explanations on a wide range of issues, many writers considered it necessary to publish their memoirs. G. Sion is one of them andhe manages to offer us remarkable pages, in which the rendering of observations, but also of thoughts, feelings and personal experiences are intertwined with an admirable sensitivity and modesty of their author.
