Question: Who was born first Ion Creangă or Ion Luca Caragiale ?
Context: Mitică (] ) is a fictional character who appears in several sketch stories by Romanian writer Ion Luca Caragiale.  The character's name is a common hypocoristic form of "Dumitru" or "Dimitrie" (Romanian for "Demetrius").  He is one of the best-known figures in Caragiale's 1901 collection "Momente şi schiţe", as well as in Romanian humor at large.  Mitică is a male resident of Bucharest whose background and status are not always clear, generally seen as an allegory of the average Bucharester or through extension, inhabitants of Romania's southern regions—Wallachia and Muntenia.  According to accounts, he was based on a resident of Sinaia, whom Caragiale had befriended. Kir Ianulea or Kyr Ianulea (] ) is a fantasy and historical fiction novella or short story, published by Romanian author Ion Luca Caragiale in 1909.  Borrowing the elements of a fairy tale, satire and frame story, it has become recognized as one of Caragiale's leading contributions to short prose, and is often described as one of the seminal works written by him during the last decade of his life.  While its narrative structure is largely based on "Belfagor arcidiavolo", a story by 16th century writer and political thinker Niccolò Machiavelli, "Kir Ianulea" employs additional elements such as anecdotes to evolve into a social fresco of late 18th-century Wallachia and the Ottoman-ruled Balkans as a whole.  Caragiale primarily adapts Machiavelli's theme, which is a fable about the innate unreliability of women, to the realities of the Phanariote epoch, focusing his attention on the interactions between Greeks and Romanians while offering additional insight into the process of acculturation. Constantin Al.  Ionescu-Caion (] , born Constantin Alexandru Ionescu and commonly known as Caion; 1882 – November or December 1918) was a Romanian journalist and poet, primarily remembered for his legal dispute with humorist Ion Luca Caragiale.  He was a Symbolist, a disciple of Alexandru Macedonski, and a militant Francophile, as well as a leading opponent of literary tradition.  His scattered work comprises essays, short stories and prose poetry, noted for their cultural references, but made little impact on Romanian literature.  As a journalist, Caion prioritized scandals, accusing Caragiale of plagiarism and losing the subsequent celebrity trial of 1902, before partly recanting and winning the retrial.  Despite his own coquetries with nationalism, Caion focused his verve on Transylvania's contemporary nationalist literary current. O făclie de Paşte or O făclie de Paşti (Romanian for "An Easter Torch") is a naturalistic novella written by Romanian writer Ion Luca Caragiale.  It was first published in Convorbiri Literare (no.  XXIII/1889–1890) and as a self-standing brochure in 1892.  Subsequently it was included in many anthologies and editions of Caragiale's prose. A statue of Ion Luca Caragiale, sculpted by Constantin Baraschi, is located on Maria Rosetti Street in central Bucharest, Romania.  It is placed in front of the house where the dramatist and short story writer Ion Luca Caragiale once lived. Ion Creangă (] ; also known as Nică al lui Ștefan a Petrei, Ion Torcălău and Ioan Ștefănescu; March 1, 1837 – December 31, 1889) was a Moldavian, later Romanian writer, raconteur and schoolteacher.  A main figure in 19th century Romanian literature, he is best known for his "Childhood Memories" volume, his novellas and short stories, and his many anecdotes. Creangă's main contribution to fantasy and children's literature includes narratives structured around eponymous protagonists ("Harap Alb", "Ivan Turbincă", "Dănilă Prepeleac", "Stan Pățitul"), as well as fairy tales indebted to conventional forms ("The Story of the Pig", "The Goat and Her Three Kids", "The Mother with Three Daughters-in-Law", "The Old Man's Daughter and the Old Woman's Daughter").  Widely seen as masterpieces of the Romanian language and local humor, his writings occupy the middle ground between a collection of folkloric sources and an original contribution to a literary realism of rural inspiration.  They are accompanied by a set of contributions to erotic literature, collectively known as his "corrosives". I. L. Caragiale is a commune in Dâmbovița County, Romania.  Known as "Haimanale" until 1952, it was the birthplace of Ion Luca Caragiale.  The commune is composed of three villages: Ghirdoveni, I. L. Caragiale and Mija. Paul Zarifopol (November 30, 1874 – May 1, 1934) was a Romanian literary and social critic, essayist, and literary historian.  The scion of an aristocratic family, formally trained in both philology and the sociology of literature, he emerged in the 1910s as a rebel, highly distinctive, voice among the Romanian press and book reviewers.  He was a confidant and publisher of the Romanian writer Ion Luca Caragiale, building his theories on Caragiale's already trenchant appraisals of Romanian society and culture.  Zarifopol defended art for art's sake even against the Marxism of his father-in-law, Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea, and the Poporanism of his friend, Garabet Ibrăileanu.  He was also a noted censurer of neoclassical trends, of philistinism, and of inauthentic customs, advocating renewal, but not revolution.  A skeptic reviewer of modernist literature, he reemerged during the interwar as its dedicated promoter, but his preference for literary entertainment over substance and many of his literary bets were shortly dismissed by other experts of the day. Ionel Gherea, also known as Ioan Dobrogeanu-Gherea or Ion D. Gherea (Francized "J. D. Ghéréa"; 1895 – November 5, 1978), was a Romanian philosopher, essayist, and concert pianist.  The son of Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea, a Marxist theoretician and critic, and the brother of communist militant Alexandru "Sașa" Gherea, he discarded their political and literary influence, being more interested in the aestheticism of his brother-in-law, Paul Zarifopol.  As a youth, Zarifopol took him to meet playwright Ion Luca Caragiale and his family.  Gherea's debut as a writer was a 1920 novel written jointly with Luca Caragiale, which was also his only contribution to the genre. Ion Luca Caragiale (] ; commonly referred to as I. L. Caragiale; February 13 [O.S. February 1] 1852 – 9 July 1912) was a Wallachian, later Romanian playwright, short story writer, poet, theater manager, political commentator and journalist.  Leaving behind an important cultural legacy, he is considered one of the greatest playwrights in Romanian language and literature, as well as one of its most important writers and a leading representative of local humor.  Alongside Mihai Eminescu, Ioan Slavici and Ion Creangă, he is seen as one of the main representatives of "Junimea", an influential literary society with which he nonetheless parted during the second half of his life.  His work, spanning four decades, covers the ground between Neoclassicism, Realism, and Naturalism, building on an original synthesis of foreign and local influences.
