MARTURII
ASUPRA UNUI VEAC ZBUCIUMAT |
Cartea
lui N.Margineanu poate constitui un
excelent studiu de caz despre memoria
autobiografica. M-a intrigat, de pilda,
de ce profesorul Margineanu relateaza
atat de detaliat, pana la amanunte banale,
stagiul sau in SUA ca bursier al Fundatiei
Rokefeller. Doi ani si jumatate de studii
in strainatate ocupa aproape tot atata
spatiu tipografic cat saisprezece ani
de puscarie politica! Am gasit, cred,
raspunsul in chiar marturiile lui Margineanu
: „Avantajul, marele avantaj al
intelectualului, ajuns in inchisoare,
acesta a fost : bogatia vietii sale,
care-l facea sa-si ajunga siesi si sa
nu se simta singur, oriunde s-ar fi
aflat”. Asadar, cativa ani de
formare profesionala postuniversitara
si stagiile in strainatate au fost hrana
lui spirituala pentru ceilalti saisprezece
ani de puscarie...Geografiile interioare
au devenit mai reale si mai intinse,
compensand geografia mizera a spatiului
concentrationar.
Marturia despre oameni si intamplari
dintr-un veac zbuciumat, cartea lui
Nicolae Margineanu este, intai de toate,
o marturisire despre sine insusi. Ea
arata cum poate fi invinsa asprimea
realului prin mobilizarea fortelor sufletesti.
Din inchisoare, Margineanu a iesit invingator!

CONFESSIONS
OF A DISTURBED CENTURY |
The
book of N. Margineanu may constitute
an excellent case study about autobiographic
memory. I was intrigued, for example,
why professor Margineanu reports so
detailed, up to ordinary details, his
period in USA as a scholar of the Rockefeller
Foundation. Two and a half years of
abroad studies, takes about as much
space as sixteen years of political
prison ! I think I found the answer
in Margineanu’s confessions: “The
advantage, the great advantage of the
intellectual from prison was this: his
life’s wealth, the one that made
him enough for himself and not to feel
alone, wherever he was ”. Therefore,
few years of post-graduate professional
formation and the periods abroad were
his spiritual nourishment for the other
sexteen years spent in prison...
The inner geography became more real
and flat, compensating the miserable
geography of the concentrationar space.
A confession about people and happenings
from a troubled century, the book of
Nicolae Maegineanu is, first of all,
a confession about oneself. It shows
how the roughness of real can be defeated
by the mobilization of spiritual forces.
From prison, Margineanu came out a winner
!
