Family and its Image in Virgil Gheorghiu’s Work
Abstract
Family constituted and still constitutes until today, an important segment of the society. In this research we will try to see how it is reflected its image in the works of one of the most important writers from the Romanian exile, namely Virgil Gheorghiu (1916-1992). Novels with autobiographical content like: The man who was travelling alone, together with the memorial writings, will constitute important sources of our investigation, together with the studies and articles dedicated to him during the time. We will try to emphasize on one side what his family meant to him and on the other, how he saw the family and understood it and its social, cultural and religious role. The research will bring into attention an aspect of the life and the work of the Romanian writer that has not been investigated until now and in the same time, to emphasize the aspects of actuality that can be found there.
