Cel din urmă armaș

by Ioan Slavici

Cel din urma Armas este interesant din perspectiva faptului ca prezinta o cronica romantata a epocii. Aflam asadar informatii semnificative despre Junimea în care apar personaje ca Titu Maiorescu, I.L. Caragiale si Rosetti si altii, infatisate cititorului într-o maniera interesanta si putin diferita de cea cu care este obisnuit acesta.
Actiunea romanului este plasata între anii 1874-1878 când tara este surprina într-o perioada de schimbare, în care oamenii au alte preocupari iar viata de la tara nu mai avea un avânt deosebit pentru acestia.
