The Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga played a critical role in the
history of his country for more than fifty years until his tragic death
in 1940. The author of more than 1,200 books and 20,000 articles, Iorga
was one of the most prolific scholars of all time. In recognition of his
academic achievements, Iorga received honorary doctorates from
universities around the world.
Nicolae Iorga is the first comprehensive biography of one of the most
important European cultural and political personalities of the first
half of the twentieth century. It considers Iorga not only as a
historian, politician, journalist, literary critic, playwright, writer,
poet, and linguist, but also as an orator, teacher, and a human being.
Written by Nicholas M. Nagy-Talavera, a leading American scholar, and
based on archival sources and family documents, this book is the first
biography to present a complete portrait of the world-renowned historian
Nicolae Iorga.
