Ion Biberi
Biberi in 1937
- ... that Romanian author Ion Biberi (pictured) rejected Marxism at the risk of unemployment, consoling himself that "man eats 20 times more than what he needs"? Source: Marcel Marcian, "Câte ceva despre rezistența obedienților", in Contemporanul, Vol. VII, Issue 4, January 1997, p. 9, quoting Paul Georgescu: Prin 1947 l-am întâlnit pe stradă (pe Ion Biberi) și l-am întrebat ce mai scrie. Mi-a răspuns că nu mai scrie nimic, căci este un om care are 20 de volume la activul lui şi că nu poate face concesii marxismului, cu care nu este de acord. L-am întrebat: Cum vei trăi? - Japonezii au calculat că oamenii mănâncă de 20 de ori mai mult decât este necesar - Dar şi această a douăzecea parte, costă.- Eu totuşi nu pot colabora cu regimul. L-am întâlnit a doua oară la Uniunea Scriitorilor şi de atunci nu l-am mai văzut. Dar cred că nu şi-a schimbat poziţia. Prin urmare, este un om cinstit, care-şi spune pe faţă poziţia, că nu este de acord cu regimul de democraţie populară. Translated: "Around 1947 I met [Ion Biberi] on the street and I asked him what he was writing on. He told me he was no longer writing anything, that he already had 20 published volumes and that he cannot make concessions to Marxism, since he does not agree with it. I asked him: How will you live? - The Japanese have determined that man eats 20 times more than what he needs. - Yes, but even this twentieth fraction, it costs money. - Still, I cannot collaborate with the regime. I met him again at the Writers' Union, and not once ever since. But I don't believe his position has changed. To sum up, he is an honest man, who spells out his beliefs, namely that he disagrees with the people's democracy."
