Born in Iaşi into a family of intellectuals, Teodoreanu followed his father and older brother ( Păstorel Teodoreanu , also a well-known writer) in studying law and becoming a lawyer. He made his literary debut in 1919 in the journal ''Însemnări literare'', edited by George Topârceanu and Mihail Sadoveanu . Later on, Teodoreanu came under the guidance of Garabet Ibrăileanu , who considered him one of the most promising writers of the generation following World War I . In Iaşi, under Ibrăileanu's leadership, he actively took part in the most vibrant cultural movement of inter-war Romania . In this environment Ionel Teodoreanu published his classic Novel Trilogy ''La Medeleni'' ("In Medeleni") (1925 - 1927). The universe of ''La Medeleni'' reflects the Upper-middle-class environment in Romania during the early decades of the 20th Century . It depicts the innocence of childhood which the ravages of the war and its aftermath would soon shatter. Although Teodoreanu did not write it as an autobiography, his experience of having grown up in such a family in Moldavia during this time certainly served as the basis for the book. Teodoreanu abandoned the childhood theme in most of his later literary works and never again reached the same level. REFERENCES
