Heraldică şi literatură. Note de lectură pe marginea romanului Sfârşit de veac în Bucureşti, de Ion Marin Sadoveanu (1944)

  • Subiect: Heraldry and literature. Lecture notes on the novel Sfârşit de veac în Bucureşti, by Ion Marin Sadoveanu (1944) The present study analyses the heraldic information contained in the novel of Ion Marin Sadoveanu (1893-1964), Sfârşit de veac în Bucureşti (first edition: 1944), a remarkably accurate and colourful „fresco” of the Romanian society during the rule of King Carol I. Focusing on the social ascension of a new category (represented by the unscrupulous and intelligent character Iancu Urmatecu), the novel shows the parallel decadence of the noble class (represented by the tired and neglectful baron Barbu), the latter being overwhelmed by the „new times” and powerless to defend its social and economic position. The novel is visibly inspired by real characters and situations, the model of baron Barbu being the Romanian statesman Barbu Bellu (Bellio) (1825-1900), holder of a genuine title of Austrian baron. Heraldic details appeared constantly in the fictional text, however the author constantly inspired from the real coat of arms of the baron Bellu. Las but not least, mentions on heraldic issues are always intended to be significant, in order to underline several aspects of the relation between the two opposite „worlds”: one of the ascending homines novi, and other of the descending noblemen.
