Ion Foti

Ion Foti (December 11, 1887–1946) was an Ottoman-born Romanian poet, prose writer, journalist and translator.

He was born into an Aromanian family in Kleisoura, a village that formed part of the Ottoman Empire's Manastir Vilayet and is now in Greece. His father was a trader. After completing high school in Bitola, Foti emigrated to the Romanian Old Kingdom, where he attended the literature and philosophy faculty of Bucharest University. His first published work, the Aromanian-language Cântițe si-ndoauă isturii aleapte, appeared in 1912. He was a correspondent for the Athenian newspaper Elefthero Vima, an editor at Bucharest's Viitorul newspaper and, together with Romulus P. Voinescu, co-directed the cultural bimonthly Propilee literare (1926-1929). Foti's work appeared in Sămănătorul, Luceafărul, Literatorul, Convorbiri Critice, Flacăra and Universul. He translated Aeschylus, as well as Oriental and German poems into Romanian and Aromanian. In 1925, he won the Romanian Writers' Society prize for poetry.[1]

gollark: All good JSON parsing/serialization code would just handle all the escaping and whatnot sanely and automatically and let me just pass in an object and convert it to a string.
gollark: See, if I had to go for the directory-of-files storage approach, I would use a format like JSON.
gollark: It is not a solution to all security problems. Maybe it happened to fix your *particular* one due to the weird and mildly insane way you do storage, but it is not a general fix.
gollark: No. It really isn't. Aaaaaaaaa.
