 Mihail (as he appears in baptismal
records) or Mihai (the more
common form that he used) was
born in Botoșani,Moldavia. He
spent his early childhood in
Botoșani and Ipotești, in his
parents' family home. From 1858
to 1866 he attended school
in Cernăuți. He finished 4th grade
as the 5th of 82 students, after
which he attended two years of
gymnasium.
From October 1869 to 1872
Eminescu studied in Vienna. Not
fulfilling the requirements to
become a university student (as he
did not have a baccalaureate
degree), he attended lectures as a
so-called "extraordinary auditor"
at the Faculty of Philosophy and
Law. [1]

From 1874 to 1877 he worked as director of
the Central Library in Iași, substitute teacher, school
inspector for the counties of Iași and Vaslui, and
editor of the newspaper Curierul de Iași (The
Courier of Iaşi), all thanks to his friendship
with Titu Maiorescu, the leader of Junimea and
rector of the University of Iași. He continued to
publish in Convorbiri Literare. He became a good
friend of Ion Creangă, whom he convinced to
become a writer and introduced to
the Junimea literary club.
In 1877 he moved to Bucharest, where until 1883 he
was first journalist, then (1880) editor-in-chief of the
newspaper Timpul(The Time). During this time he
wrote Scrisorile, Luceafărul, Odă în metru antic etc.
Most of his notable editorial pieces belong to this
period, when Romania was fighting the Ottoman
Empire in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 and
throughout the diplomatic race that eventually
brought about the international recognition of
Romanian independence, but under the condition of
bestowing Romanian citizenship to all subjects of
Jewish faith. Eminescu opposed this and another
clause of the Treaty of Berlin: Romania's having to
give southern Bessarabia to Russia in exchange for

 From 1883, when Eminescu's crisis and
deviant behaviors became evident and until
1886, the poet was treated in Austriaand Italy,
by specialists that managed to put him on his
feet, as testified by his good friend,
writer Ioan Slavici.  In 1886, Eminescu
suffered a nervous breakdown and was treated
by Romanian doctors, in particular Julian
Bogdan and Panait Zosin. Professor Doctor
Irinel Popescu, corresponding member of
the Romanian Academy and president of the
Academy of Medical Sciences of Romania,
states that Eminescu died because of mercury
poisoning. He also says that the poet was
"treated" by a group of incompetent doctors
and held in misery, which also shortened his
life. Mihai Eminescu died at 4 AM, on 15
June 1889 at the Caritas Institute,
a sanatorium run by Dr. Șuțu and located on
Plantelor Street Sector 2, Bucharest.
Eminescu's last wish was a glass of milk,
which the attending doctor slipped through
the metallic peephole of the "cell" where he
spent the last hours of his life. In response
to this favor he was said to have whispered,
"I'm crumbled". [3] SURSA:
