| Abstract: | Sextil Puşcariu’s memoirs comprise four volumes, three of them being structured as a trilogy, focusing on a family (Spița unui neam din Ardeal), a city (Brașovul de altădată) and a period (Călare pe două veacuri). The volume explicitly entitled Memorii [Memoirs] is dedicated to the most difficult period in the life of the author, that of the First World War. Based on a discourse of memory, this part of the Sextil Puşcariu’s work represents a testimony of the manner in which certain events, occurrences, experiences took shape and meaning in his perception. The current paper aims to analyse the images expressing nostalgia in Sextil Puşcariu’s memoirs. It focuses on examining the manner in which his emotions and feelings – caused by phenomena such as industrialisation, the advent of radio and television, the expanding electricity networks, and the nuclear power use – are articulated in his discourse. Puşcariu’s memoirs are based on some diary pages, correspondence and miscellaneous writings, notes and comments carefully archived by the author every year. In his later years the wisdom of age brought him, he confessed, a priceless gift, “as the passions were subdued, the perspectives broadened, he could handle a more correct balance” (Călare, p. 13). In the following pages I attempted to portray the manner in which the emotions and feelings filled with a nostalgic note are expressed, following Sextil Puşcariu’s deliberate approach to let his descendants some parables about life. |
