Marin Preda
Preda was born in Teleorman county, in a village
called Silitea-Gumeti, into a family of peasants. He first studied at school in his home village, then schools in Abrud and Cristur-Odorhei. He moved to Bucharest in 1940 and became a proofreader at Timpul ("Times") magazine. His first novella was called Calul ("The Horse"). It was written in 1943 and read in Eugen Lovinescu's literary circle, Sburtorul ("The Flier").
It was included in his debut volume of
1948, ntlnirea din pmnturi. ("The Meeting between the Lands"). Between 1943 and 1945 he served in the army, which was to inspire some of his later works. In 1945 he was hired as a proofreader at Romnia liber ("Free Romania") newspaper, and beginning with 1952 served as an editor at the cultural magazine Viaa Romneasc ("Romanian Life"). His novel Moromeii, was awarded the State Literature Prize in 1956. In 1965, he became vice-president of "Uniunea Scriitorilor" (Writers' Union) and in 1970 the director of "Cartea Romneasc" publishing house, keeping this job until his death.[citation needed] He became a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy in 1974, and was promoted to titular post-mortem member in 1990.[1] In 1954 he married Aurora Cornu; they divorced in 1959. He was married to Eta Vexler, who defected to France in the early 1970s. With his third wife,
Elena, a worker about 30 years his junior,[2] he had
two sons, Nicolae and Alexandru.[3] Preda's novel Delirium (Delirul) is considered to reflect the attempt to review Ion Antonescu's role against the background of re-surging nationalist pride in Communist Romania. Here, Antonescu is painted as a tragic figure, who joined Germans, regarding this as the only way to re-gain Bessarabia.[4] The first edition of the novel quickly sold out. In 1980, Marin Preda published his last novel, Cel mai iubit dintre pmnteni ("The Most Beloved Earthling"), regarded as a violent critique of communism. After a few short weeks on the market, the novel was withdrawn from all public, university, and school libraries and all bookshops. It was not much later, on May 16, 1980, that the novelist died at the Writers' Mansion of Mogooaia Palace. The autopsy, which took place 24 hours after his death, showed that his blood alcohol concentration was 3.5 BAC, enough to fall into a
