"My house is a totally beautiful novel" confessed Ion Al. Bratescu Voinesti. And indeed, the house
from Targoviste, in the meantime turned into "THE MUSEUM OF DAMBOVITA'S WRITERS", devouring
therefor biografies and flaky glitter of life, seems to transform the enthuziastic affirmation of
the ex-owner into precognition.
Lying in the middle of a park with a certain dendrological value, the retirement place built
between 1897-1898 and belonging to the writer until after the first World War, was meant to receive
Titu Maiorescu, I.L. Caragiale, Emil Garleanu, Mihail Dragomirescu, Garabet Ibraileanu, I.
Radulescu-Pogoneanu, a remarkable graduate of that age.
Behind the yard, across Iazul Morilor (the Mills-Course), you can see, like an eagle's nest,
Manastirea Dealu (the Hill Monastery).
In "the Dictionary of the Dambovita county" the researchers Victor Petrescu and Serghie
Paraschiva talk, among others, about the foundation in Targoviste, after the second world war,
of "the Targoviste's prosers school"; literary movement which contains the prose written with
distinguished talent by Radu Petrescu ("Matei Iliescu", 1970, "A single age", 1975, "The inturned
glass", 2000), Mircea Horia Simionescu ("The well-tempered ingenious: onomastic dictionary", 1970,
"Endless dangers", 1978, "Ulise and the shadow", "the Banquet", 1982, "Gallant stories", 1994, "the
Fever", 1998, etc.), Costache Olareanu ("The paper plane", "False treaty about spending a trip", 1982,
"The wolf and the receipt", 1995), an entire series of exceptional essayists which cultivate the
bizzare fiction, the absurd, the grotesque, reaching the sophistication of the writer close to the
perfection.
