About Octavian Goga
Octavian Goga (Romanian pronunciation: [oktaviˈan ˈɡoɡa]; 1 April 1881 – 7 May 1938) was a Romanian far-right politician, poet, and writer who served as Prime Minister of Romania. == Early life == Octavian Goga was born on 1 April 1881 in the village of Resinár, Szeben County, Kingdom of Hungary (part of Austro-Hungarian Empire), (today Rășinari, Romania), on the northern slopes of the Southern Carpathians, in the house at 778 Ulița Popilor, the son of the Aromanian Orthodox priest Iosif Goga and Aurelia, a teacher (and a collaborator in his youth at the newspaper Telegraful Român and the magazine Familia). Between 1886 and 1890, Goga attended primary school in his native village. Most of his holidays, as he recounts in various autobiographical texts, were spent in his father's native village, Felsőkarácsonyfalva, a village on the Târnava Mică, (today Crăciunelu de Sus, part of the commune of Cetatea de Baltă, Alba County, Romania), where about 20% of the families in the village bear the name Goga. Goga said: "The life of the peasants on the delnițele Crăciunelului was my inspiration for Plugarii & Clăcașii. In 1890 Goga enrolled at the state high school in Nagyszeben (today Sibiu, Romania), the school which is called today Gheorghe Lazăr National College). In 1899 he transferred to the Romanian high school in Brassó (today Brașov, Romania), which is called now Andrei Șaguna National College). After graduating from high school in 1900, he enrolled at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Budapest, continuing his studies in Berlin and completing them in 1904. On 14 October 1906 he married Hortensia Cosma, the youngest daughter of the politician and banker Partenie Cosma, director of the Albina Bank in Nagyszeben, one of the wealthiest Romanians in Transylvania. The ceremony took place at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Nagyszeben, with Alexandrina and Alexandru Vlahuță as godparents.
