Live and act

Ion Druță's parents were farmers in Horodişte, which is predominantly inhabited by Moldovans . The village in the far north of the country is 21 kilometers from the district town of Donduşeni and 171 kilometers from the capital Kischenau .

Ion Druță graduated from the local forest ranger school and worked in the village administration as a secretary. 1945–1956 he was a member of the Moldovan Komsomol and served in the military from 1947–1951 .

Ion Druță has published since 1950. In 1957 he graduated from the Moscow Maxim Gorky Literature Institute . Initially Ion Druță wrote in Moldovan , but from 1960 also in Russian . He became known throughout Russia in 1957 with his first novel, Blätter der Sehnsucht , which was translated into Russian , and also Georg, the widow's son . After the publication of The Burden of Our Kindness ( Povara bunătății noastre ), Iwan Bodjul, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Moldova, put political pressure on the author.

In 1998 he withdrew from the Moldovan Writers' Union. Ion Druță is a member of the Romanian Academy and the Moldovan Academy of Sciences . He is one of the presidents of the Paulists .
