barbu lăzăreanu -lrb- born avram lazarovici , also known as barbou lazareano or barbu lăzărescu ; october 5 , 1881 -- january 19 , 1957 -rrb- was a romanian literary historian , bibliographer , and left-wing activist .
of romanian jewish background , he became noted for both his social criticism and his lyrical pieces while still in high school .
his socialist-and-anarchist advocacy made him a target of the conservative establishment , which expelled him from the country in 1907 .
lăzăreanu spent five years studying in france , then returned to romania as a publicist , columnist , and workers ' educator .
he earned the reputation of a highly focused literary researcher and biographer , noted as the editor of works by ion luca caragiale and constantin dobrogeanu-gherea .
by 1933 , lăzăreanu was a public critic of fascism , a fact which contributed to his persecution by the antisemitic far-right in the 1940s .
having narrowly escaped a deportation to transnistria and a likely death in 1942 , he returned to public life after the 1944 coup and subsequent democratization .
he rose to prominence post-1948 , under the romanian communist regime , first as a rector of Ștefan gheorghiu academy , then as a member of the romanian academy and its presidium .
lăzăreanu spent his final decade as a decorated and lionized writer and political forerunner of the regime .
