Mircea Sandu (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈmirtʃe̯a ˈsandu]; May 13, 1940 in Bucharest – April 22, 1996 in Bucharest), known as Mircea Ciobanu (pronounced [tʃjoˈbanu]), was a Romanian poet, writer, editor, translator and essayist.
He is best remembered for his two volumes of interviews with HM King Michael I of Romania (a book widely reprinted by various editors in the early 1990s, later reunited in a single volume by "Humanitas" Publishing House), that offers the most complete insight in the King's political and personal way of thinking, to date.
