the border village Prislop, when a peasant bent over and kissed the land. The
scene was embedded in his mind, stunned him, obsessed him and was fixed in
the course of the epic novel.
He aims to represent through Ion al Glanetasului the Romanian peasant
organic passion for land that was born, that lives and dies. Ion is a realistic novel
of social observation. The novel has a complex structure: following the fate of the
main character, background Transylvanian village with its traditions and customs.
REbreanu is committed to spherical building: novel begins and ends with the
same image

peasant family in the Danube Plain, from Siliştea-Gumeşti, who knows over a
quarter century, a deep and symbolic teasing.The rural soul is there rudimentary,
