Mihail Sadoveanu

Mihail Sadoveanu was a Romanian novelist, short story writer, journalist and political figure, who twice served as acting head of state for the communist republic (1947–1948 and 1958). He is the most prolific novelist in Romanian literature and one of the most accomplished. All his major work, however, was written before the political changes in Romania following World War II. Although Sadoveanu remained a productive author after the war, like many other writers in communist countries, he had to adjust his aesthetic to meet the demands of the communist regime, and he wrote little of artistic value between 1945 and his death in 1961.

Sadoveanu was born on 5 November 1880 in Pascani, a small town in Moldavia, to Alexandru and Profira (Ursachi)

Victor Ion Popa

Victor Ion Popa a fost un om de teatru și literat polivalent care a adus, prin opera sa dramatică, regizorală și pedagogică, o contribuție însemnată la evoluția teatrului românesc dintre cele două războaie mondiale.

Piesele sale alternează între tabloul idilic care face să dispară contradicțiile realității și drama sumbră, cu referire de critică socială, cu final ce alunecă spre tragic. Pentru tematică se refugiază în lumea burgheză, sătească, viața pitorească, sau în liniștea târgului patriarhal. Victor Ion Popa a considerat că piesele sale au nevoie de cultivarea tradiției patriarhale, respectiv de combatarea arivismului și a prostiei.
