Abstract

The paper refers to the relationships of our great writer with those who were his

contemporaries.First, we can talk about his friendship with Mihai Eminescu, who was his most

precious help in his writing activity. Moments of their friendship are revealed now for the first time

and give the reader new and important information about the times when the two famous writers

were students in Viena or when they were contributing to “Timpul”-“The Times”newspaper. The

relationships with Titu Maiorescu are also revealed.This one was his mentor and his

support.Slavici will have a conservative attitude under Titu Maiorescu’s influence. We also refer to

the tensionate relations between the great writer and Nicolae Iorga or Octavian Goga and to Ion

Pas or Barbu Solacolu’s impressions upon Slavici, concerning his physical appearance as well as

his morality.
