Under these circumstances, in the subchapter entitled The Histrionic Ivasiucwe have referred to the concrete author Ivasiuc. Alexandru Ivasiuc was born on July12, 1933, at Sighetu Marmatiei, Maramureş county, originating maternally in a familyof traditional Maramureş aristocrats and paternally having Bukovinian roots. Afterfinishing the high school of Sighet, starting from 1951 he attended the courses of theFaculty of Philosophy of Bucharest, being expelled after two years for ideologicalreasons. After working for a short time as an under-plumber on a site in order to be reeducated,in 1953 he enrolled for the courses of the Faculty of Medicine within theMedico-Pharmaceutical Institute of Bucharest, being expelled three years later andarrested for his participation in the movements of the students in Bucharest, as a signof solidarity with the Hungarian revolution.
