La feredeiele Borsecului: șprițuri/ macmahoane/ mișmașuri în literatura începuturilor

Borsec Mineral Water Baths:

Spritzer/ Blends/ Spirits Featured in the Literature of the Beginnings

Abstract: The present study unfolds on several layers.In the first place, it propounds a history of the relationship between the alcoholic drink that is popularly known as „spritz” and Romanian literature, illustrated with examples from the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Secondly, it restores a terminology area, determining the first usage of the word (with all its synonyms) and what prominent or less-known authors have frequently utilized it. Thirdly, it inspects documentation data which thus reinstates two potential forerunners of this interstitial phenomenon: Anton Pann and Daniil Scavinschi. In the fourth place, it exposes a series of thresholds in the evolution of the Romanian mentality, based on the level of tolerance or disapproval that writers have expressed, when confronted with this liquor.

Keywords: Romanian literary history, wine anthropology, mineral water, Anton Pann, Daniil Scavinschi, N.T. Orășanu, I.L. Caragiale, G. Ranetti, Ștefan Baciu
