Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

*It is a social-historical prose referring to Transylvanian realities, with obvious insertions in the fantastic that bring an aura of mystery both to the characters and to a "poeticity" of the texts - a poetics of the fantastic that is not at all boring, on the contrary intelligent, pleasant, fluid, meaningful, significant in many aspects. Why not a representative book for Transylvania, eponymous, I would say, with people, places and facts that are not forgotten, all belonging to the treasure of a culture and civilization of authentic living, from a primordial Romanian space.Zenovie CÂRLUGEA-literary critic *In one of the stories we find the story of the 40 young men, pietistic Protestants, who left the British shore of Europe on a ship to settle in Pennsylvania, driven by the ideal of building "a new world, a better one, closer to nature and to God" (p. 33), in America, in Philadelphia, "on the 40th parallel north latitude, the same on which ancient Philadelphia in Asia Minor was built. Philadelphia, the city of "brotherly love", of friendship! A symbol of humanity!" (p. 34). Mihai Posada-literary critic
