Un Santo en el ascensor by Petru Cimpoeşu ES
RomaniaDescription:
Queremos dar parte, a quien corresponda, de que en un anodino y destartalado bloque de pisos de una ciudad rumana de provincias, del que sólo se podría inferir hastío, se ha producido una avería en el ascensor. Adentrémonos en el alma de esa caja de hormigón y observemos a sus habitantes con sus quehaceres diarios. Fijémonos en esas criaturas con el prisma irónico que nos brinda el narrador, y descubriremos un hervidero de vida que sólo se detendrá ante las profecías y parábolas que se cuelan por las rendijas d... continue

Un singur cer deasupra lor by Ruxandra Cesereanu RO
Description:
Un roman-fresca despre transformarile petrecute in Romania de la inceputurile obsedantului deceniu comunist pina dupa revolutia din 1989, in care micile istorii ale unor oameni aflati de partea puterii comuniste sau impotriva ei sint inglobate si dau contur istoriei mari. Luptatori in munti, deportati, detinuti politici, opozanti, disidenti, frontieristi, revolutionari, dar si lideri ai Securitatii, presedinti de stat, tortionari, delatori si multi altii – victime si opresori –, cu totii traiesc sub acelasi cer, intre 1945 si 1991, limitele cronologice ale frescei epice la care aut... continue

Una mañana perdida by Gabriela Adameşteanu ES
Description:
Una mañana perdida es una novela monumental, al modo de las de Dostoievski o Mann.
Sus 566 páginas son engañosas; si no fuera por su letra pequeña y escasos márgenes, podría tener cerca de mil.
Pero no sólo por eso; la cantidad de personajes y vínculos, en general evocados por los diálogos o relatos en primera persona, conforman un árbol difícil de seguir.
La novela puede dividirse en tres partes: la primera en los años ’70 con el paseo matinal de Vica Delca, que sale de visita, y al no encontrar a nad... continue

Viaţa la ţară by Duiliu Zamfirescu RO
Description:
Primul roman al ciclului Comăneștenilor este considerat aproape în unanimitate de criticii literari drept cel mai valoros, prin echilibrul de realism și de idealism, prin poezia pământului și a vechii noastre boierimi iubitoare de pământ, și, mai ales, prin neuitata creațiune a Sașei, după cum aprecia Eugen Lovinescu. Autorul elogiază poetic frumusețea pământului natal, traiul liniștit și patriarhal, tradițiile de familie și iubirea platonică petrecută într-un mediu idilic.

Why the Child is Cooking in the Polenta by Aglaja Veteranyi EN
Description:
A nomadic family of circus performers, refugees from Romania, travels through Europe and Africa by caravan. The mother's death-defying act causes constant anxiety for her two daughters, who voice their fears through a grisly communal fairy tale about a child being cooked alive in polenta--but their real life is no less of a dark fable, and one that seems just as unlikely to have a happy ending. An actor and performance artist as well as a poet and novelist, Veteranyi was acclaimed for her seemingly "artless" narrative voice, in which pain and hilarity always vie for the upper hand--a voice at ... continue
