Abstract

The Diary of Martha Bibescu, one of the few Romanian writers renowned in Europe, covers the 1939-1941 time span, a time of great turmoil in European history and politics. Our paper tackles a series of issues suggested by the very content of the diary, such as the origin of some political scenarios, Romania’s position in a critical moment of its existence, the connections between culture and politics, etc. Ultimately, the diary abovementioned, as the work of a cultured person, allows for an insight into
the backstage of European politics.
