She is quaint and refined in ways that only a polished mind would be. The turn of the phrase is like a second game to her, it is as if she is turning her wrist and snaps her fingers as a prima donna. That is a tragedy in itself.īut, let me talk about who she was and why I am so enthusiastic about her.Įven if she wrote little in this diary/journal the bits that she had laid on paper are glorious. She outlived both of her sons and husband. Then, as the years pass, the fragments become more vague and much more macabre as her eldest dies in war, at only a year after his father`s departure. She jotted down the impressions that had been made on here. For the lengthiest part she talks about her stay in Florence, after she had split from Nae Ionescu. There are bits of notes concerning periods of time from the 30s to the 50s. The woman that tried to redefine herself after she had separated herself from said husband. It is a clever name for a book, but it is still unjust to the person that she was. It translated to Diary with and whiteout Nae Ionescu. The entire premise of this book is that these are the thought of Nae Ionescu`s wife. A pity, really, as I would have wanted to hear more of Elena-Margareta Ionescu. I am announcing my intention of yet again writing a review in English for a book written in Romanian. I am not bringing them up to flatter myself. I read one book on Cioran then one on Nae Ionescu and then this. This is my third book in what has become a thread of books written between the two World Wars.

And I believe we’re all inherently creative, and that the structure of our economy and our educational system has taken that away from many of us - relegating us to a role of consumers, as opposed to creators. Do you mean the idea of design - and the tools of design - being democratized so that it’s accessible to more people? Fundamentally, I believe that everyone deserves good design.
