Country: Europe / Romania flag Romania
Description:
„Daca as avea mijloace, n-as face nimic altceva decat o banca de lemn in mijlocul marii. Constructie grandioasa de stejar geluit, sa respire pe ea, in timpul furtunii, pescarusii mai lasi. Si sa zica asa, gandindu-se la mine: “N-a facut nimic bun in viata lui decat aceasta banca de lemn, punandu-i de jur imprejur marea”. M-am gandit bine, lucrul asta l-as face cu draga inima.” Inspirata din mitul biblic al omului inghitit de un peste, drama Iona da nastere, de-a lungul celor patru tablouri, la interogatii existentiale grave, privitoare la: viata, moarte, singuratate,... continue

Las bellas extranjeras by Mircea Cartarescu ES

Rating: 3 (1 vote)
Country: Europe / Romania flag Romania
Description:
Mircea Cartarescu, autor de las visionarias Nostalgia o Lulu, aborda tres relatos magistrales, cargados de un humor amargo y brutal. El volumen se abre con «Ántrax», que narra, en plena paranoia post-11-S, cómo el autor recibe un sospechoso sobre desde Dinamarca, hecho que moviliza al kafkiano establishment policial rumano. En «Las Bellas Extranjeras», indudable pièce de résistance del volumen, asistimos al delirante viaje del autor en compañía de once escritores rumanos a tierras francesas, un descenso a los infiernos que alcan... continue

Las cuatro estaciones by Ana Blandiana ES

Rating: 3 (1 vote)
Country: Europe / Romania flag Romania
Description:
Aparecido en 1977, después de ser rechazado por la censura debido a sus «tendencias antisociales», Las cuatro estaciones fue el primer libro de relatos de la prestigiosa autora rumana Ana Blandiana, de quien ya publicamos en Periférica el también extraordinario Proyectos de pasado. Como éste, Las cuatro estaciones se inscribe en la nutrida tradición fantástica de la literatura de su país, a la vez que dialoga con otras tradiciones, de Poe a Kafka. Blandiana se sirve de lo fantástico para denunciar, de manera encubierta, la dimensión grotesca de la existencia en un estado totalitario; es decir,... continue

Legături bolnăvicioase by Cecilia Ștefănescu RO

Rating: 4 (1 vote)
Country: Europe / Romania flag Romania
Description:
Kiki este o tinara nonconformista, incapabila sa aleaga intre viata alaturi de un artist megaloman, Renato, si iubirea pentru o alta fata, Alex. Coplesita de temeri, nevroze si viziuni romantice, unele aflate la granita dintre reverie si boala, ea frecventeaza mediile studentesti si artistice, in cautarea unui raspuns la dilemele sale. In aceasta continua oscilatie intre hetero- si homosexualitate, Kiki traieste insa o serie de experiente in urma carora viziunile sale devin mai puternice decit realitatea. Roman ecranizat in 2006 in regia lui Tudor Giurgiu

Rating: 3 (1 vote)
Country: Europe / Romania flag Romania
Description:
Legendele si povestile apartin tuturor. Importanta este insa talmacirea lor, iar Alexandru Mitru ne-a oferit o versiune minunata, de neuitat si chiar de neegalat. Cartile lui Alexandru Mitru nu se adreseaza in exclusivitate copiilor; adultii din prezent isi amintesc cu placere basmele si legendele mitologice povestite simplu, placut, dar cu acuratete de acesta.

With grit and determination, Nadia Comaneci ushered in a new era for women's sports, one where young girls could vault into the arena of superstardom. Even today, almost thirty years after her greatest triumphs, you need only mention the name "Nadia" and gymnastics fans know instantly w... continue
