Humanly distant, Adriana Georgescu, secretary of General Rădescu, and Sorana Gurian, member of the literary group Sburător, apparently had in common just the journalistic practice and the anti-Nazi/anticommunist activity. However, at the beginning of the fifties, they published in France two memoirs that describe two of the “-isms” that bent Romania in the twentieth century. Their personal (and painful) experience took shape respectively in the volumes Au commencement était la fin. La dictature rouge à Bucarest (Hachette, Paris 1951) and Les mailles du filet. Mon journal de Roumanie (Calmann-Lévy, Paris 1950) that denounce the (ill)concealed violence beyond the Iron Curtain.Downloads
