As You Wish
College student Christy trusts God to guide her in making decisions about school and her boyfriend Todd.
The God's Orbit
In this, her most successful collection of poetry, Christi strikes the reader by her seraphic serenity, inspired, as she confesses, by Fra Angelico's mural paintings. In naturally flowing lines, full of a sober inner musicality, that support a painful and clear vision of life, the often inimical gods slowly turn into God, the all-pacifying.
Revisiting Modernism
By shifting the centre of gravity from author to reader, Roland Barthes had certainly prepared us for a Copernican turn in aesthetics, yet Michael J. Pearce’s Art in the Age of Emergence still sounds unfamiliar two years after its publication. While acknowledging the existence of homologies among the art objects of a cultural phase, the Californian academic also launches an explanatory hypothesis:”I realized that in order to understand art, instead of looking for the similarities between the paintings and the sculptures we have to look at the similarities between the people looking at them. Art is better explained by looking at how the mind works than by looking at the products of mind....
Holocaust Public Memory in Postcommunist Romania
How is the Holocaust remembered in Romania since the fall of communism? Alexandru Florian and an international group of contributors unveil how and why Romania, a place where large segments of the Jewish and Roma populations perished, still fails to address its recent past. These essays focus on the roles of government and public actors that choose to promote, construct, defend, or contest the memory of the Holocaust, as well as the tools—the press, the media, monuments, and commemorations—that create public memory. Coming from a variety of perspectives, these essays provide a compelling view of what memories exist, how they are sustained, how they can be distorted, and how public remembrance of the Holocaust can be encouraged in Romanian society today.
Promises of 1968
This book is a state of the art reassessment of the significance and consequences of the events associated with the year 1968 in Europe and in North America. Since 1998, there hasn't been any collective, comparative and interdisciplinary effort to discuss 1968 in the light of both contemporary headways of scholarship and new evidence on this historical period. A significant departure from earlier approaches lies in the fact that the manuscript is constructed in unitary fashion, as it goes beyond the East–West divide, trying to identify the common features of the sixties. The latter are analyzed as simultaneously global and local developments. The main problems addressed by the contributors...
Sortiți să vadă
Agasat de o doamnă care gira rubrica mondenă a unui ziar newyorkez, cu privire la preferinţele sale, la întrebarea care este obiectul său favorit din natură, Mark Twain a răspuns, în maniera sa unică: „O frumoasă mută!” Ziarist, traducător, autor de carţi, Irina Airinei îndeplineşte doar una dintre condiţii. Fiind universitar – doctor în filologie -, predând cursuri, ţinând seminarii, pregătind studenţi, nu prea are cum să fie mută. Şi, cu atât mai mult, ca ziarist de presă scrisă şi de radio. Urmărind însă transcrierile interviurilor luate de ea unor personalităţi din aproape toate domeniile, îţi dai seama că, departe de a fi taciturnă, Irina Airi...
The A to Z of Moldova
The Republic of Moldova claims a European lineage reaching back in time long before its 14th century accession to statehood. In the 15th century, it managed against all odds to avoid being conquered by Islam and-albeit an intermittent vassal after 1485-it maintained its autonomy and was never turned into a province of the Ottoman Empire. After this period, however, Moldova would not be so fortunate, as it altered between Russian, Romanian, and Soviet control until it finally gained its independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union. The A to Z of Moldova, through its chronology, introduction, appendixes, maps, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, traces the history of this small, but densely populated country, providing a compass for the direction it is heading.

Literatura română – acasă
Nici avangardiştii cei mai radicali n-au putut ignora total tradiţia, deşi, la modul teoretic, au pretins că au aruncat-o la coşul de gunoi. Un Urmuz a valorificat absurdul care nu lipseşte din folclor, dar nici din Caragiale. „Constructiviştii” au simţit tentaţia să-l asimileze pe Brâncuşi la avangardă etc. Iată însă că postmoderniştii au ajuns la „înţelepciunea” că lumea contemporană începe doar cu dânşii. Am auzit voci spunând că Liviu Rebreanu este atât de „învechit”, încât nu mai are ce căuta în programele de învăţământ. Nu mai vorbim de Eminescu. Acesta n-ar fi decât un scriitor „istoricizat”, interesant, cel mult, prin câteva poe...
Asediu
Soarta temporară a unui copil născut în Balcani sau o istorie mistică a manipulării ce a devenit aproape genetică. Timp de câteva zile sau ani, micul Helio se trezeşte sechestrat într-un mod atipic. I se spune că astfel va fi nu doar ocrotit, ci şi mântuit. În faţa auzului sau trece o întreagă lume răsăriteană textualizată care conţine părerile şi imaginile câtorva generaţii de oameni. Se vorbeşte patetic, parodic şi uneori paranoic despre majoritatea încercărilor prin care a trecut şi trece spaţiul nostru: războaiele mondiale, Holocaustul, comunismul, democraţia, tranziţia, lumea romanului depăşind graniţele geografice şi istorice şi convertindu-se la metafora unei postmodernităţi sterilizate de crunta demonetizare a cuvântului.
