Romulus Dianu

The literature written by Romulus Dianu is highlighted by epic verve and a fast notation, "made from the flight of the pen". The writer presents a conventional, slightly cosmopolitan and exotic environment, showing an intellectual curiosity about the mystery of the eternal feminine. His characters, such as Victoria Gherman in the novel Adorata (1930) and to some extent those in Nights at Ada-Kaleh (1932) and the Girls' Fair. Simple Mental Journey (1933), I feel the need for absolute erotic fulfillment.

Born in Bucharest, his parents were Căile Ferate Române worker Gheorghe Dima, a relative of composer Gheorghe Dima; and his wife Virgilia (née Maiorescu), descended from the family of Petru Maior. After attending primary school in Murfatlar and Bârlad, he enrolled in the classics section of his native city's Saint Sava National College, thanks to the help of his uncle, poet George Tutoveanu. In 1925, he entered the literature and philosophy faculty of the University of Bucharest. He made his published debut in Rampa in 1926, with opinion pieces. His first book appeared in 1929; co-written with Sergiu Dan, it was a fictionalized biography titled Viața minunată a lui Anton Pann. Dan was his best friend, and he was also very close to Ion Vinea and Pamfil Șeicaru. He wrote the novels Adorata (1930) and Nopți la Ada-Kaleh (1931) in the prevailing serialized style of the day.
