AAA             Ion Creanga (1839-1889) surprises the essential particularities of the village (the tradition as permanence) by the characters created - they are typical (in Amintiri din copilarie (The story of my chilhood)).
            Mos Nechifor Cotcariu the first short-story of atmosphere. He is the creator of the cult story, his stories are not those of a folklorist but are mostly short-stories. The peasant world is projected faboulosly.
            Harap Alb's story is considered a formation short-story.
            Amintiri din copilarie is not an autobiograhy but a lyrical novel which the story of the universal child is being told.
            Creanga's way of telling is a deep original one, being characterized by it's speech and by it's hummor. Creanga's masterlines stays in the colloquial speech, in the show way of his stories. The general impreson is that the author is standing in front of us , like on an imaginary stage, where he acts as a player, playing one by one all characters, and before that, his own part as a main personage and story-teller.

            The art in Creanga's way is between real and fiction, in a perfect balance. What is fiction or fantastic from his writings gets particular human skills.
            The huge masterpiece of Vreanga creates not only a hummor univers, but also a tragic one in the realist-psihologic novels, in the naturalism sphere as O faclie de Pasti (The Easter Light), Pacat (Sin), Vreme de razboi (War Times).
