Leonid Dimov

[3][dubious – discuss] His literary debut came rather late, in 1965, when he published some poems in the Viața Românească magazine, where Șerban Cioculescu, Dimov's old French teacher, had become chief editor.

Soon after, Miron Radu Paraschivescu, the editor in charge of the literary supplement "Poveste vorbei" of the Ramuri magazine in Craiova, also let Dimov publish some poems.

After becoming a member of the Writers' Union of Romania, he was hired as an editor at the România literară magazine in 1970, where he worked until 1975, when he went into early retirement due to illness.

[6] Carte de vise ("Book of Dreams") was published in 1969, at Editura pentru Literatură, with cover and illustrations by Florin Pucă.

The book is divided into four cycles: He translated from Marcel Raymond, Curzio Malaparte, Gérard de Nerval, Andrei Belyi, and Mikhail Lermontov.
