De două mii de ani-- ; Cum am devenit huligan

Front Cover
Humanitas, 1990 - Fiction - 334 pages
A joint reprint of two books by the Romanian Jewish writer (1907-1945). The novel "For Two Thousand Years..." (1934) deals with the condition of a Jewish intellectual in Romania of the 1920s facing new waves of antisemitism, especially in the universities, and the dilemmas of Jewish identity. The novel and the antisemitic preface (also reprinted here) written by Nae Ionescu, a philosopher and right-wing politician attached, after 1933, to the Iron Guard, provoked violent polemics among Romanian and Jewish intellectuals. In his essay, "How I Became a Hooligan" (1935), Sebastian responds to Ionescu's theological anti-Jewish arguments and to other antisemitic attacks in the Romanian press, discussing also the problem of antisemitism in Romanian intellectual life.
