Noble Prize canonization of the contemporary people raised in the case of Herta Müller a curtain behind which hides a East-European past little known in the West. The importance of nsisting on representation of communism in depth is due, believes she, to the fact that we are going through a period of “relativization of communism”, of “nostalgia and tolerance over time”,facing the sinister communist past.

Beeing one of the writers for whom the central subject is the Artist facing the Power, the problem arises for her to understand what the experience of dictatorship means in terms of morality, literature and urgent need for truth.

In conclusion the author emphases the historical and political irresponsibility, and especially the moral power.
