| Summary: | Writer with a solid philosophical preparation, Camil Petrescu proves his ability to make
refined conceptual distinctions through artistic literature. Thus, in the play Jocul ielelor, he
determines his characters to support the validity of several types of justice. The main character is the
journalist Gelu Ruscanu, who lives a true drama of conscience because his notion of “absolute

undoubted literary value, the play Jocul ielelor is also a genuine debate about the concept of justice. |
