Arhitectură şi construcţii în secolul XX. O mărturie contemporană – opera lui G. Călinescu

Abstract

Although architecture is not popular with Romanian writers, the buildings described by G. Călinescu in his novels are particularly important as settings for the plot. No other novelist has ever paid such attention to the strongly individualising urban landscape. It is noteworthy that the action of the four novels written by G. Călinescu takes place in Bucharest. The paper analyses the sites of G. Călinescu’s novels from the viewpoint of the history of Bucharest buildings.
