  Article:   BIERCE, EMINESCU, AND THEIR INVESTIGATIONS OF THE RAILWAY BUSINESS.

  Abstract:  In his paper, author explores how the writers Ambroise Bierce and Mihai Eminescu both acted as journalists in two cases of railways sale. The events took place at a great distance one from the other, in The United States of America and Romania, and had different outcomes, but the two journalists were intensely involved. Both used many means to persuade the public that it was facing an attempt of using the public funds for crooked or even illegal operations. Another similarity in the important writers and journalists’ activities comes not only from the common subject of buying back railways with astronomical fees, but also from the similar manner in which the authors are perceived. A hundred years later, both writers are appreciated for their literary writings, while their journalistic approaches are left in a shadow, invoked only generically within the attempts of complex portraying of each one of them.
