The boy studied at the gymnasium in Chernivtsi, where teaching was conducted in German. Then this area was under the leadership of Austria-Hungary. Speaking in class was difficult for him. And in the future, the poems of Mihai Eminescu in Romanian are much more famous.
Interesting facts

It was thanks to him that Mihai Eminescu became a patriot, drawing many strong ideas from the teachings. He dedicated the first verse to his mentor. At that moment, a poetic biography begins. Mihai Eminescu expressed his mourning in Romanian in the verse "At the grave of Aron Pumnul". It was later published in the publication "Tears of Lyceum Students". The semantic load of the work is a call to grief, which was supposed to disperse throughout Bukovina, because one of the best teachers in the country died.
The publication of the first famous work written by Mihai Eminescu took place in 1866. At the same time, he managed to create The Corruption of a Young Man, after which several more of his creations were brought to the attention of the public in the magazine Family. For creative achievements and patriotism, the image of the poet is depicted on the national currency. A banknote with his portrait "walks" under a face value of 500 monetary units.
Changing the place of education
Training in Chernivtsi has not yet been completed, but the young man is forced to leave the gymnasium. He entered another educational institution located in Vienna. It was his father's wish. There Eminescu Mihai acquired the status of a volunteer with the right to study philology, the history of philosophy, and jurisprudence. Then his creative activity does not slow down, but, on the contrary, gains new momentum. What poems Mihai Eminescu wrote, it becomes clear if you get acquainted with the numerous creations of that time. One of them is the wonderful poem "Epigones".
Slope in reflection
With the onset of the autumn of 1872, he moves to Berlin. Within the walls of the local university, he attended lectures that ended in September 1874. He was engaged in translation activities, working with the works of Confucius and Kant. Patriotic ideas captured his mind, penetrating his creativity. It is this character that the works "Angel and Demon", as well as "The Emperor and the Proletarian" have. Thanks to the Paris Commune, fundamental changes took place in his thinking and attitude. Each line is permeated with the spirit of love for the native land. “What I wish you, sweet Romania” is proof of that. This verse is considered one of the best creations of the author.
Creative twist
When the poet moved to Berlin, he rethought the very concept of the themes of the poems. From patriotism, Mihai leans towards love lyrics, singing subtle and sublime feelings in such creations as "The Blue Flower" or "Cesara". Reading these lines, one can catch the idea of holiness and inviolability of true feelings. Sometimes, of course, this does not fit with everyday difficulties and realistic events that can break this thin and ghostly veil.
In many ways, society even perverts the sacred connection between man and woman, simplifying and trivializing it. Realism often wins over romanticism, but this does not mean at all that lofty emotions should be forgotten. Man is a complex creature, designed to find a balance between his instincts, animal nature, the desire to know the world and spirituality.superiority. Mihai Eminescu calls for a subtle and careful attitude to feelings.
Searching for funds
In 1874, the poet moved to Iasi, where he planned to earn money. He found work as a teacher and librarian at the gymnasium. He also takes on the duties of a school inspector. During this period, the poem "Kelin" was completed. Allegorically, unity with the motherland is glorified here. Some time after the move, the poet created works that carry a philosophical load. In 1877 he received an invitation from the newspaper Vremya, which was published by the Conservative Party. The poet moves to the territory of Bucharest. Of course, this does not make it easier for him financially, he has to earn additionally.
At that time, he created "Messages" that carry a social and philosophical message. One of the peaks of his creative activity can be called the verse "Morning Star". It is imbued with a romantic mood and at the same time full of realism. The fraction of a genius who was rejected is illuminated. There is some resentment here that his talent was not fully recognized during his lifetime.
The decline of the mind and the dawn of a career
This creator was truly a genius, which is rare. So his lyrical hero did not have enough space for himself on earth. The main value in the lines of this work is proclaimed peace. However, his search takes a lot of energy against the backdrop of an agitated and noisy outside world. From this, fatigue arises, which can be understood by reading the text of the verse. Notes of atheisticviews are also present in the work "I do not believe …". However, against this background, a demonic image is also used in a separate poem. The poet looks at the world from different angles, makes assumptions, reflects and allows the reader to think with him.
Eminescu's life was clouded by a mental illness that developed in 1883. The treatment gave some improvements, but it was not possible to completely expel the disease, it pursued the creator to death. Little respect was paid to Mihai during his lifetime. But in the same year, the only book published while he was alive managed to come out. He was recognized and loved, he became a respected person, but it happened too late. The mind of the poet was clouded by illness. The death occurred in a psychiatric hospital bed in 1889 on the territory of Bucharest.
It's kind of a pity that people like this are noticed after death. However, their feat can be called all the more majestic. After all, this poet firmly adhered to his views, not staggering from the blows of fate. With all his sensuality and creative outlook on life, he kept a fire in himself to go through all obstacles. And only at the end of his life he gave up the slack and allowed the disease to overcome himself. He deserves eternal memory and respect. Today he is honored by grateful descendants.
