Artur Enășescu

Romanian Army when his country entered World War I in 1916, Enășescu saw action at Oituz and Măgura Cașinului. He was an editor for the Botoșani-based Îndrumarea in 1918 and for the Bucharest Luceafărul in 1919–1920. Due to an illness, he stayed in a sanatorium at Sibiu from 1920 to 1922. His only book published during his lifetime was the 1920 Pe gânduri, which appeared thanks to the effort of his friends. From 1928, the disease of his nervous system became irreversible. In the 1930s, with his lost mind, he was a vagabond, sleeping in passageways or under the staircase of the Ferdinand Hotel. He cut a tragic and colorful figure in the landscape of downtown Bucharest, as recorded by artists Ion Sava and Aurel Jiquidi.^[1]
