Toamna decanei : convorbiri cu Antoaneta Ralian by Antoaneta Ralian, Radu Paraschivescu RO
Description:
mele, dislocările. O viaţă compusă din renunţări, pasiuni, succese, deziluzii, spaime, intuiţii, angoase şi bucurii. O viaţă schimonosită de convulsii ideologice şi înnobilată de prietenii înalte. O viaţă-slalom, o viaţă-arsură, o viaţă-caleidoscop şi, de ce nu?, o viaţă-document. Antoaneta Ralian nu este – şi nu ştiu să fi fost vreodată – grefierul acru al propriului destin. Prezenţa ei destinde în loc să crispeze. Avem de-a face cu un om care vorbeşte şi scrie şampanizat, cu sinceritate, cu umor şi cu o vioiciune pe care nu i-a avariat-o nici una dintre în... continue

Toate bufniţele by Filip Florian RO
Description:
„Filip Florian are, pe linga placerea povestitului, si grija pentru viata frazei, cu maruntaiele ei comunicante. Are rabdarea ceasornicarului de a asambla angrenajul cu arcuri fine, rotite subtiri si rubine, capabil sa reproduca in text traiul si trairea, timpul si vremurile, sa le faca sensibile cu misterul lor cu tot. Si mai are Filip Florian in Toate bufniţele inca o calitate pe cale de disparitie astazi: simtul naturii salbatice.” (Adriana Bittel)
„Odata intrat in lumea acelui orasel de munte in care se intilnesc destinele celor doi eroi, odata prins in pinza de paianj... continue
