The Mihai Eminescu Trust was formed during Ceaușescu's dictatorship, to help persecuted dissident academics by smuggling in books and journals so that they could keep abreast with the civilisation they had once shared. Our clandestine contacts took us to strange places. In 1987 I visited the lonely mountain hut of Constantin Noica, a much-revered sage who told me the ancient villages around him were facing the imminent threat of "systematisation"-obliteration by bulldozing-to make room for factories and concrete apartment blocks... MET UK remains an active partner, providing help and advice when required, fundraising, and giving donations for special projects.
