About Mihail Celarianu
- Mihail Celarianu (August 1, 1893 – 1985) was a Romanian poet and novelist. A native of Bucharest, he was the third of eight children born to Constantin Celarianu, an officer in the Romanian Army, and his wife Antoaneta (née Pricup).
- After middle and high school in Bucharest and Braila, he took a technical course of study at the Bucharest Conservatory, hoping to launch a career in vocal music, an idea he abandoned.
- Celarianu spent two years in Paris (1912-1914) studying medicine, returning home upon the outbreak of World War I.
- (His 1936 novel Femeia sângelui meu, which he considered "almost entirely autobiographical", would deal with this period; he was accused of immorality when it was published.) He enlisted for duty after Romania entered the war in 1916, first as an infantryman and then, after attending the Pipera-based bombardiers' school, as an air gunner.
- The war inspired his play Drapelul, which was staged in One?ti, as well as a lengthy episode in his 1940 novel Diamant verde.From 1923 to 1929, Celarianu worked as a civil servant at Ion Minulescu's office in the Arts and Religious Affairs Ministry, an experience that informed his 1934 novel Polca pe furate, published on the recommendation of Mihail Sebastian.
- From 1929 to 1944, he was librarian and then specialist at the Labor, Health and Social Protection Ministry, where one of his office colleagues was Felix Aderca.
- Between 1944 and 1949, he was secretary of the fellow-travelling Democratic Writers' Union.
- His wife Nina was the daughter of Alexandru Macedonski, whose poems he selected and published in 1920 as Poezii alese.He made his poetry debut in Duminica in 1906, aged thirteen.
- His first book, Poeme ?i proza, appeared in 1913, during his Paris stay.
- He was a regular customer of the Otetele?eanu Restaurant and, following a suggestion by Tudor Vianu, began frequenting the Eugen Lovinescu-led Sburatorul circle.
- He wrote two children's books (Zâna izvorului sanata?ii, together with Jean Bart and Dr.
- Ygrec, 1936; Ispravile lui Stan cel cuminte, 1939), as well as a volume of humorous sketches, Noaptea de fericire (1944).
- He translated Honoré de Balzac, Boris Polevoy (in collaboration) and Édouard de Keyser.
- Magazines that publish his work include Sburatorul, Universul literar, Flacara, Via?a Româneasca, Revista Funda?iilor Regale and România Literara.
- He won the Romanian Writers' Society Prize in 1929, 1935 and 1939; and the Romanian Academy's Mihai Eminescu Prize in 1966.
- During the interwar period, Celarianu was a promoter of novels that analyzed situations through satire and especially eroticism.
- He was a Symbolist poet of the elegiac and sensual or erotic tendency, as exemplified by his volumes Drumul (1928) and Flori fara pace (1938).
