Mircea Anghelescu – scrisori către Ioana Em. Petrescu

Rezumat

The intellectual life during communist Romania can be reconstructed, nowadays, through the private correspondence of its participants; these exchanges have gradually become public in recent decades. What we choose to present here comes from Ioana Em. Petrescu (1941–1990)ʼs private archive (located at the Special Collections department at the “O. Goga” County Library in Cluj). It contains letters she received from Mircea Anghelescu (1941–2022). Such documents are proof of the enduring quality of the intellectual exchanges between the participants and of the manner in which scientific networks were created and maintained during the communist period.
