Conformism și nonconformism ideologic în nuvela Ana Roșculeț de Marin Preda

Abstract

The Romanian literature retains from Marin Preda’s literary work "The Meeting between the Lands", "The Moromete Family", "The Intruder", "Life as a Prey", "The Most Beloved of Earthlings", nonconformist writings for the ideological recipe of the time they were written, for which the writer's opponents did not find vulnerable points in the furious attack placed under the sign of fortuitous revisionism. They represent the prose writer’s resistance component, the undated part of his literary edifice, which provides his well-deserved place in the post-war Romanian literature.
Not in the same situation are the novels "Ana Rosculet", "The Unfolding" and "Dark Windows", conjunctural texts in which Preda abdicates from the ethical and aesthetic principles in order to resort to the easy schematism of socialist realism practiced by writers in the 1950s. The compromise is not excruciating nor does it get Marin Preda out of guilt, yet it has as justification two terminals of Preda’s writing : the volume of short stories "The Meeting between the Lands" (1948) and the novel "The Moromete Family"- the first volume (1955).
