Noapte de Sânziene by Mircea Eliade RO
RomaniaDescription:
Acest roman constituie poate proiectul cel mai ambiţios al lui Mircea Eliade, acela de a configura un Zeitgeist, plasându-se astfel alături de romancieri europeni redutabili. Romanul recapitulează toate temele esenţiale pentru opera lui Eliade, teme care-şi găsesc ecoul atât în proza şi dramaturgia sa cât şi în opera ştiinţifică sau în publicistică. În acelaşi timp, romanul reprezintă un mare semn de adio, este un roman al despărţirilor, al rupturilor, al unei lumi dispărute care va continua să-l obsedeze pe scriitor şi asupra căreia acesta va mai reve... continue

Noapte de Sânziene II by Mircea Eliade RO
Description:
Prin tema care-i conferă şi titlul, romanul pare să-şi aibă sursa în perioada portugheză, aşa cum menţionează Eliade în Jurnal, în 21 iunie 1949: „Solstiţiul de vară şi noaptea de Sânziene îşi păstrează, pentru mine, toate farmecele şi toate prestigiile. Se întâmplă ceva şi ziua aceasta mi se pare nu numai cea mai lungă, ci, pur şi simplu, alta decât cea de ieri sau cea de mâine. Cândva, în Portugalia, imaginasem un fel de poveste cu miracolul regenerării şi tinereţii veşnice dobândite într-o noapte de Sâ... continue

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell EN
Description:
As relevant now as when it was first published, Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South skilfully weaves a compelling love story into a clash between the pursuit of profit and humanitarian ideals.

When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of loc... continue

Nuntă în cer by Mircea Eliade RO
Description:
Neîndoielnic, scriind această carte, autorul ei evadează: în trecut, în imaginaţie, în mit. Nuntă în Cer nu este, desigur, un roman fantastic, deşi misterul nu lipseşte, dar este, cu siguranţă, un roman realist-simbolic, axat pe un mit al iubirii. Un roman de idei, mai puţin livresc decât celelalte, şi un roman liric.
Cadrul întâmplărilor descrise rămâne unul modern, citadin, în vreme ce relatările lor au loc într-un cadru montan, izolat. Avem de-a face, aşadar, cu o perspectivă „de sus” asupra trecutului personaj... continue
