Eugen Ionescu, his literary life and works in Romania

Ionescu began to write, when 15~16 years old while he was a student, the Sfântu-Sava high school, and his dream was to be a famous poet. But he created the works that did not escape the sentimentalism, which lead him to deny the value of his poem works during the interview with Claude Bonnefoy. But in his poem works are already expressed the special features like perpetual fear, fascination of death, prolifération. In this period of time Ionescu wrote many articles in the magazines and other articles of literary comments are published in the argumentative essay book of "No" in 1934. In this book he comments on the famous writers like Tudor Arghezi, Ion Barbu and Camil Petrescu for the lack of the originality as well as to the critics that compliments to their works. And he mentions the God, death, truth, sadness, joy and about himself. The masterpiece of Ionescu, "La Cantratrice chauve" is created in France, and he explains that the opportunity for his masterpiece was a coincidence, but we could find that he had the concept of "théâtre absurde" since he was in Romania. Ionescu was thinking of "a new plays" for long time. In reality, Ionescu has seen the "people seeking for new way", from the generation of new drama writers, and he mentions about it as follows: "I do not know if the new way would be found. I know that it is in need. And this is the reason that it must be found."
