Mateiu Caragiale (1885–1936) was a Romanian writer and poet, the son of the playwright Ion Luca Caragiale. Fascinated all his life by aristocracy, heraldry and genealogy, he cultivated the manners of a nobleman he was not, and wrote little: a handful of sonnets, the novella Remember and the novel Craii de Curtea-Veche (1929). That one novel, with its decadent Bucharest and its elaborate, sonorous prose, made him one of the most admired stylists in Romanian literature.
