Features: Before the publication of this book, there was no comprehensive monograph in China that introduced Romanian literature from ancient times to the present. Based on years of teaching practice and research, the author condenses the evolution of Romanian literature into over a hundred thousand words, hastily pouring it onto paper, with the hope that readers will gain an understanding of the development of Romanian literature after reading it, and can discuss certain issues such as historical periods, author introductions, and work evaluations with experts. Romanian literature belongs to the literature of a small country, and many historical facts and backgrounds are little-known. Therefore, the book appropriately introduces the evolution of the Romanian nation and history in the context of the emergence and growth of literature, highlighting the main thread of literary development. Folk literature holds an important position in the country's literature, and a separate chapter is dedicated to it. Written literature is systematically and thoroughly introduced according to the main thread of historical development, covering major events, schools, key authors, and works. The selected materials are concise and accurate, and the evaluations of authors and works are relatively objective and fair. Introducing and evaluating the literature and authors of the Romanian socialist period is an important part of this book. The author extensively explores the views of various schools and firmly grasps historical facts, offering their own insights on the successes and failures of this period for criticism and correction.
