Figures du paysan, figures de l’émigrant dans la poésie de B. Fundoianu / Benjamin Fondane

The first poetry in romanian of Benjamin Fondane, translated or not into french, evokes numerous aspects of farmer’s life in Moldavia, shared by the Jews, in the villages of the “Herta” zone. This youthful lyrism also recalls the phenomenon of emigration, particularly to the United States of Romanian jewish populations, in the beginning of the twentieth century. The sometimes tragic consequences, mentioned more allusively in “Le Mal des Fantômes” complete the picture of end of civilization given by this french poetry written during the second world war.
