Tudor Arghezi

Ion Nae Theodorescu, who took the name Tudor Arghezi, was born in 1880 in Bucharest, an illegitimate child. He published his first verses in 1896, entered the monastery of Cernica, where he was a deacon, then lived for several years in Geneva. For having written in the press of the German occupation, he was imprisoned at Văcărești from the end of 1918. A pamphlet of 1943 against the German ambassador earned him internment in the Târgu Jiu camp. Censored at the beginning of the communist regime, then rehabilitated, he died in Bucharest on 14 July 1967.
