Drumul scurt spre casă by Catalin Dorian Florescu RO
RomaniaDescription:
Romanul lui Catalin Dorian Florescu este o poveste emotionanta, scrisa cu aceeasi fluiditate, cu aceeasi grija fata de cititor cu care autorul ne-a obisnuit deja. Trei tineri pornesc intr-o calatorie spre Est: de la Zurich, prin Viena si Budapesta, spre malul Marii Negre. Intimplarile prin care trec sint dramatice, incarcate uneori de absurd. Autorul dezvolta in cel de-al doilea roman al sau o imagine cuprinzatoare si, totodata, plina de miez a inceputului anilor ’90. O carte impresionanta, melancolica si mai ales plina de viata.
