About the author

Tudor Mușatescu

18 books9 followers
Tudor Muşatescu was a Romanian playwright and short story writer, best known for his humorous prose.
Muşatescu was born in Câmpulung to a family of middle-class intellectuals — his father was a lawyer while his mother was a writer. He began writing during his early years in school. He completed studies at the University of Bucharest where he earned a degree in Law and one in Literature.
Much of his work centers on provincial life in his native city, and includes political satires such as Titanic Vals (arguably, his most influential writing).

Se spune, și pe bună dreptate, că există scrieri (romane, piese, chiar și poezii) care sunt menite să reziste timpului, fie și prin simplul fapt că subiectul tratat este unul peren.
Este și cazul acestei piese, un fel de urmare a Titanic Vals (considerată opera de căpătâi a maestrului) în care politica joacă un rol mai pregnant.
De aici vine și titlul, inspirat ales, bazat pe replica unei femei, Nina Damian, furioasă la culme c-a fost părăsită de amantul său, Decebal Necșulescu. Fără ajutorul ei, evident, total dezinteresat! omul nostru ar fi rămas un simplu "Escu"...
