Mihai Eminescu is considered the most important poets of the Romanian language, and is cherished as a national poet in both Romania and Moldova. His works were indebted to the Romanticism of Western European poetry, but placed an emphasis on his own national allegiances. Greatly influenced by the literature of Western European authors and the philosophical doctrines of German academies such as Arthur Schopenhauer.<\/p>\n

Mihai Eminescu is considered the national poet of both Romania and Moldova. His romantic inspirations led to poetry which reinterpreted traditional narratives of the mythological, fabled, and metaphysical. Often credited with igniting a complete revolution of Romanian verse and a colossal enrichment of the Romanian language, Eminescu\u2019s poetry debut came in 1866 when he was just 16 years old. At 19, Eminescu moved to Vienna and began his university studies, reading both Law and Philosophy.<\/p>\n

During his time at university Eminescu became an active member of the literary scene and a frequent contributor to various newspapers and student-run publications. He stood firmly against any kind of oppression and promoted heroically the aspiration of Romanian people for liberty, freedom and independence. After completing his education abroad, Eminescu worked as a university librarian, newspaper editor, and journalist. Although, he continued to write and publish poetry.<\/p>\n

Eminescu\u2019s masterpiece \u2018Lauceafarul\u2019 (\u2018Evening Star\u2019) was published in 1883. It is an epic love poem engaging the beauty of the natural world and interrogating the psyche of man. Although he left various texts, manuscripts, poetry volumes and countless letters after his death, Eminescu would only see the publication of one full collection of poetry in his lifetime, 1884\u2019s Poems (written and published with the help of his mentor Mairescu). Eminescu is celebrated for both his technical achievements, his expert control of the concise, declarative language he uses, and the philosophical weight of the themes of his verse.<\/p>\n

Although known for his accomplished career in poetry, Eminescu was also an author of fictional works, his most praised prose pursuits are the SarmanulDionis and Cezera. Eminescu also worked as a freelance journalist and in this capacity he was a brilliant observer of the political, economic, and social society of his time. Eminescu remains one of the region\u2019s most celebrated and luminous literary presences, both in Romania and Moldova.<\/p>\n

Eminescu\u2019s birthday, 15th<\/sup> January 1850, had been declared by the Romanian government the Day of the National Culture as a token of respect veneration toward his poetical genius as well as active participation in the artistic and social life of Romania. He is largely seen as one of the most prominent promoter of Romania\u2019s unity and the formation of the modern unitary Romanian state.<\/p>\n

His profile of a master of arts and poetical genius, as well as his uncompromising patriotism, have a profound multi dimension symbolism for the culture and identity of Romanians. The Day of National Culture represents a moment of celebration but equally an opportunity to deeply reflect on the place and role of the Romanian patrimony within the European and universal culture as well as the importance of cultural diplomacy.<\/p>\n

In this context, I would like to express my gratitude to PRFA, for coming up with this splendid initiative to celebrate our national poet and the Culture Day.<\/p>\n

Thanking the President of PRFA Mr. Ahsan Shah, Ambassador said that \u00a0we really appreciate your efforts to make the PRFA active in so many ways. The culture is one of the most important components which define our national and individual identity and promoting an active cultural diplomacy represents a fundamental pillar of our diplomacy through participation to the European and global intercultural dialogue. Romania\u2019s taking over the Presidency of the European Union Council gives us the chance to promote the diversity of our national culture and the creative spirit of Romanians in the process of our reaffirming our attachment toward the European values as well as toward universally accepted values. We have a long and rich tradition of cultural ties with the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The very fact that Mihai Eminescu and the great Pakistani poet Allama Iqbal have a joint monument in Islamabad shows now and forever that the geniuses have no boundaries and that Romania and Pakistan are much closer than the geographical realities indicate. Today we honor the memory of Allama Iqbal as much as we honor the personality of Eminescu for both of them, hand in hand, like in the monument in Islamabad, are illustrious figures of the universal treasure of culture.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
