Ioan Alexandru Bratescu-Voine?ti (January 1, 1868 – December 14, 1946) was a Romanian short story writer and politician.
The scion of a minor aristocratic family from Târgovi?te, he studied law and, as a young man, drew close to the Junimea circle and its patron Titu Maiorescu.
He began publishing fiction as an adolescent, and put out his first book of stories in 1903; his work centered on the fading provincial milieu dominated by old class structures.
Meanwhile, after a break with Maiorescu, he drew toward Via?a Româneasca and Garabet Ibraileanu.
In 1907, Bratescu-Voine?ti entered the Romanian parliament, where he would serve for over three decades while his written output declined.
In his later years, he became an outspoken anti-Semite and fascist, a stance that, following his country's defeat in World War II, gave way to anti-communism near the end of his life.
