Abstract

After a brief presentation describing the main traits of the literary Romanian exile, this article aims to reveal some aspects of Matei Vişniec’s poetical originality, a Romanian francophone writer who defines himself as a «lucky exiled man». The poem we’ve chosen, «At the table with Marx» («La masă cu Marx»), involves the main line of the book with the same title that was published in Romania in 2011. His explicitly political regard relates him to another text that circulated as an anti-communist manifesto during the previous years of the communist dictature fall: the well-known poem entitled «The sailing ship» («Corabia»). A parable of complicity and colective guiltiness, «At the table with Marx» is a lyrical lesson of history over wrong social choices, that fatally impacted on the whole mankind
