Alexandru Vlahuță was a Romanian writer, one of his best-known books being "România Pitorească" ("Picturesque Romania"), which Dumitru Micu says is a "commented geographical atlas, crossed by a warm love for his country". He was born on September 5, 1858 in Pleșești, the son of a small landowner. He attended primary school and high school in Bârlad between 1867 and 1878, taking the baccalaureate exam in Bucharest in 1879. For a year he attended the Faculty of Law in Bucharest, which he left because of his precarious material situation, becoming a teacher and then a professor in Târgoviște. From 1884 to 1893 he worked as a teacher at several educational institutions in Bucharest (Normal School of the Society for the Education of the Romanian People, "Elena Doamna" Asylum, "Sfântul Gheorghe" High School). In 1888 he was school inspector for Prahova and Buzău counties. He edited the magazine Vieața (1893-1896), then Sămănătorul (1901), together with George Coșbuc. From 1901 he served as a referee at the House of Schools. In 1905 he married for the third time to Ruxandra, the daughter of a landowner from Dragosloveni, Râmnicu Sărat county. During the First World War he lived in Iași, then in Bârlad, where he was visited by young writers whom he guided with solicitude; one of them was V. Voiculescu.
