On that account the Romanian literature written in exile after 1945 presents an important part of the history of Romanian literature as a whole. Due to its linguistic and cultural affinity France became one of the main host countries for Romanian exile writers. The introductive chapter is dedicated to description, classification and history of this phenomenon in Romanian context; furthermore, it deals with the position and reception of exile literature in Romania. According to their departure date in exile two generations of authors are presented: Mircea Eliade, Virgil Ierunca, Monica Lovinescu who left Romania in 1940s and Paul Goma, Bujor Nedelcovici, Dumitru Ţepeneag who decided to leave in France in 1970s and 1980s. The chosen works help us to get to know to the writers' creation and lives during the process of integration and, simultaneously, we get familiar with the communist Romania that became the main topics of the exile writers who are chosen as representatives of their exile generation.

The goal of this work is to map an adaptation process, which children have to go through when coming to a foreign school in terms of different instructional language, curriculum and particularly sociocultural enviroment. The work is focused on a group of factors which influence the adaptation, e.g. child age, family role, community role, cultural differencies and support techniques used by schools to make the transition process for children smoother. The work also describes the cases when children have to face the adaptation process multiple times because of repeated moving to new countries and therefore repeated school changing. This trend is caused by migration and globalization and and is connected especially with international schools, which consider the successful adaptation process of its students as a key assumption for students' future success. The work also shows situation of bilingual children in terms of adaptation to a new school enviroment and specific problems of children who have never lived in their own culture or culture of their parents ("Third Culture Kid Theory"). One part of this work is a research held in American International School of Budapest which consists of 3 case studies of foreign students.
