寵愛
In 1980, Marin Preda published his last novel, "Cel mai iubit dintre pământeni" ("The Most Beloved Earthling"), regarded as a violent critique of communism. After a few short weeks on the market, the novel was withdrawn from all public, university, and school libraries and all bookshops. Between 1975 and 1980 he lived in Bucharest on the street (after the painter name) Alexandru Romano no. 21.
