Ioan Slavici
2 books in the library
Ioan Slavici (1848–1925) was a Romanian writer, journalist and teacher, born in Transylvania when it was still under Austro-Hungarian rule. He is one of the founders of Romanian realist prose: his village stories are about what money does to people who have never had any, told without sentiment about peasant life and without excusing anybody. He was imprisoned more than once for his journalism, in Hungary before the First World War and in Romania after it. His best-known works are the novella Moara cu noroc and the novel Mara.
