Една воденица се носеше по Сирет

Rate this book
Ca roman de analiză, Venea o moară pe Siret e o dovadă mai mult a talentului d-lui Sadoveanu; creația obiectivă nu intră ca o calitate. În lupta dintre Filoti și Costi jocul sentimentelor e aproape psihologia se reduce la acte reflexe. Eroii sunt personagii de panopticum; adevărata viață rămâne în dosul actelor pe care le săvârșesc; noi numai bănuim sau acceptăm efecte al căror parcurs nu l-am străbătut.

About the author

Mihail Sadoveanu

190 books99 followers
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) Sadoveanu.

In Anii de Ucenicie (Years of Apprenticeship, 1944) Sadoveanu recalled his special affection for his mother, who was a gifted storyteller. Her death in 1895, when she was only thirty-four, deeply disturbed Sadoveanu. In 1900, after graduating from high school, he decided to study law in Bucharest, but he soon lost enthusiasm and started missing classes. Instead, he spent most of his time writing novels and plays.

In 1901 Sadoveanu went to live in Falticeni and married Ecaterina Bâlu. Eventually the father of eleven children (including writers Profira Sadoveanu and Paul-Mihu Sadoveanu), Sadoveanu enjoyed a stable and quiet family life that was no doubt a positive influence on his writing.

Aceasta este o scriere aparte printre romanele lui Sadoveanu, din cel puțin două motive.
Primul ar fi legătura destul de evidentă cu locurile natale ale autorului (născut la Pașcani, la 5 noiembrie 1880) al doilea este durata deosebit de lungă în care Sadoveanu a lucrat la roman, din 1908, până în 1923, anul publicării.
Amprenta scriitorului se simte chiar de la început, descrierile de natură (atât de urâte de generații întregi de elevi...) fiind punctul său forte. Fete frumoase, pasiuni puternice, stihii ale naturii, completează un roman dacă nu atrăgător, măcar interesant...
