- Summary:
- This volume portrays a story of resistance in Romania during the reign of Ceausescu: that of Constantin Noica, one of the country's foremost intellectuals, who chose to stay in Romania after the communist takeover when many others fled. Harassed and jailed for six years, Noica retreated to the mountains and gathered around him some brilliant young minds and future talent to challenge and nurture them in a time when communism denied them the materials of true intellectual importance. The author of this volume Liiceanu, himself a brilliant philosopher, was Noica's closest disciple and during every meeting he noted every conversation in a diary which came to be known as The Paltinis Diary, a wonderful homage to an intellectual master and to the power of intellect and freedom.
