Life
Ion Barbu studied in Bucharest, Berlin and Goettingen the subjects philosophy and mathematics . He received his doctorate in philosophy in Göttingen and from 1942 worked as a professor of algebra in Bucharest . However, his actual field of work was geometry. He is considered to be the inventor of a certain metric Jordanian areas; His two-part work on geometry on rings (1940/41) became particularly well known.
His first publications in literary magazines ( e.g. in Contimporanul ) caused a sensation in the professional world with their sonorous and powerful combination of neologisms and archaisms , as he could not be clearly assigned to any of the poetic trends of his time. Ion Barbus' work always addressed the various aspects of human existence. In addition to his own work, he translated works by William Shakespeare into Romanian. He died in Bucharest on August 11, 1961.
