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.

Whisperwood by Alex Woodroe EN
Description:
When curious nomad Anna hears about Whisperwood, a town that's not on any maps, that nobody goes to, and nobody comes from, she sees an opportunity to hide from her violent witch-hunting ex. But not everything is peaceful in the isolated community. A vanishing town, a gruesome funeral rite, an emergency field surgery--these surprises and more test Anna's resolve. Prevented from leaving the frontier settlement by folk magic she doesn't understand, Anna lends helping hands everywhere she can, but quickly finds that investigating the forest too closely could end up being the last thing she does. ... continue

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

Zenobia by Gellu Naum RO
Description:
„O carte neobișnuită, șocantă, provocatoare, de factură singulară în literatura română. Despre Gellu Naum, poetul extraordinar al avangardei românești, nu s-a scris niciodată cu atâta competență ca în Zenobia.” (Lucian Raicu)
„În afară de dicteul automat – căruia, de altminteri, suprarealiștii nu i-au fost totdeauna credincioși –, toate refuzurile, împlinirile și idiosincraziile suprarealismului pot fi regăsite în acest roman sau, dacă preferă autorul, în acest Pohem de iubire care este Zenobia.” (Moni... continue
