Culianu & Petrescu - Bibliotecă personală

The Dan Petrescu and Thérèse Culianu-Petrescu collection includes representative Western books that offer critical analyses of the communist regimes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, brought semi-clandestinely into Romania and used as alternative sources of intellectual formation. An example of moral resilience in the face of communist dictatorship, this collection illustrates the cultural nonconformism of an informal grouping of young intellectuals known as the Iaşi Group, out of which, at the end of the 1980s, in a period of profound despair, the critical discourse, lucid and courageous, of Dan Petrescu made an impression through the intermediary of the Western mass-media. The story of dissidence in Iaşi, in particular that of Dan Petrescu, was until 1989 that of a confrontation between the truth of critical intellectuals and the lies of dictatorship. The dichotomous story of dissidence during communism turned after the opening of the files of the former Securitate into confrontation between each of the protagonists with the collective past of the group. Preferring marginality to stardom, Dan Petrescu and Thérèse Culianu-Petrescu are among the few heroes who did not lose this status even after the files of the secret police brought to light betrayals and complicities hitherto suspected but unproven.丹·彼得雷斯库（Dan Petrescu）与泰蕾兹·库利亚努-彼得雷斯库（Thérèse Culianu-Petrescu）藏书集，收录了针对苏联及东欧共产主义政权开展批判性分析的代表性西方著作。这批书籍曾以半秘密方式传入罗马尼亚，并作为知识分子智识养成的替代性来源。作为直面共产主义独裁的道德韧性典范，该藏品展现了由青年知识分子组成的非正式群体——雅西群体（Iaşi Group）的文化异见。20世纪80年代末，在时局极度绝望的背景下，源自该群体的丹·彼得雷斯库以清晰锐利且充满勇气的批判性论述，借助西方大众传媒引发广泛关注。直至1989年，雅西的异见叙事——尤其是丹·彼得雷斯库的故事——始终是批判知识分子所持真相与独裁政权谎言之间的对抗。随着罗马尼亚前秘密警察（Securitate）档案的公开，共产主义时期的二元对立异见叙事，转变为每位主角与该群体集体过往之间的对峙。丹·彼得雷斯库与泰蕾兹·库利亚努-彼得雷斯库宁择边缘而非名利光环，是少数即便在秘密警察档案揭露了此前遭怀疑却未被证实的背叛与共谋行为后，仍未丧失其英雄身份的人物之一。
