Bilete De Papagal
''Bilete de Papagal'' was a Romanian left-wing publication edited by Tudor Arghezi, begun as a daily newspaper and soon after issued as a weekly satirical and literary magazine. It was published at three different intervals: 1928–1930, 1937–1938, 1944–1945. Name The title made reference to a once-popular form of busking and fortune telling, one involving a person playing a barrel organ while a trained parrot would pick up predictions written on scraps of folded paper that were placed in an open box (the notes were known as ''bilete de papagal'' - "parrot tickets"). The use implied a very small format; Arghezi, who later adopted the ''bilet'' as an original form of short prose, explained his style choices in the editorial for the first issue (2 February 1928): "A newspaper this small has never before been published, not even among ants. Lacking a large newspaper in which to write important stupidities, the editor of this rolling paper gives light to what is less than a flyer an ...

Led by Eugen Lovinescu, the circle was instrumental in developing new trends and styles in Romanian literature, ranging from a new wave of Romanian symbolism to an urban-themed realism and the avant-garde. The review, subtitled ''Revista literară, artistică şi culturală'' ("Literary, artistic, and cultural review"), was published between April 1919 and May 1921, and again from March 1926 to June 1927 (a weekly magazine entitled ''Sburătorul Literar'' was published between September 1921 and December 1922). During its last period in print, ''Sburătorul'' engaged in a polemic with partisans of a more traditional style, especially figures grouped around the '' Sămănătorul'' magazine. Lovinescu himself argued against Nicolae Iorga's ethnocentric views on Romania in the Middle Ages. Name In Romanian mythology, '' Zburătorul'' (of which ''Sburăto ...
