Mateiu Ion Caragiale (Romanian: [maˈtej iˈon karaˈd͡ʒjale]) was a Romanian poet and prose writer, best known for his novel Craii de Curtea-Veche, which portrays the milieu of boyar descendants before and after World War I. Caragiale's style, associated with Symbolism, the Decadent movement of the fin de siècle, and early modernism, was an original element in the Romanian literature of the interwar period. In other late contributions, Caragiale pioneered detective fiction locally, but there is disagreement over whether his work in the field produced a complete narrative or just fragments. The scarcity of writings he left is contrasted by their critical acclaim and a large, mostly posthumous, following, commonly known as mateists.

“Sunt vise ce parcă le-am trăit cândva şi undeva, precum sunt lucruri vieţuite despre care ne întrebăm dacă n-au fost vis.”
Mateiu I. Caragiale, Remember

“Sunt fiinţe cari prin câte ceva, uneori fără a şti ce anume, deşteaptă în noi o vie curiozitate, aţâţându-ne închipuirea să făurească asupra-le mici romane.”
Mateiu I. Caragiale, Craii de Curtea-Veche

“Îţi va părea ciudat, am urmat, dar, după mine, unei istorii, frumuseţea îi stă numai în partea ei de taină; dacă i-o dezvălui, găsesc că îşi pierde tot farmecul.”
Mateiu I. Caragiale, Remember
