The Story of Our Generation

In 1989, the political landscape of the Eastern European country of Romania changed dramatically. No longer the Socialist Republic of Romania, it became a parliamentary democracy modeled on the American system. For most people, such a drastic change in ideology would come as a complete shock. But for the "children of the republic"-the last generation born in the kingdom of Romania-it was nothing new. They had seen four regime changes during their lifetime. In this fascinating chronicle, authors Matei Cazacu, Ioana Creţoiu, and Ladislau G. Hajos relate their interviews with other members of their generation, preserving memories from the three different versions of this country-and fostering ...

Dracula's Bloodline

This engrossing book tells the story of the Florescu family, from its feudal blood ties, to the notorious 15th century figure Vlad Tepes (Count Dracula), right up to present day, touching on such diverse personalities as the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jackson. In the tradition of Alex Haley’s Roots, Dracula’s Bloodline relates a multi-generational saga through the prism of one family’s narrative, from medieval Eastern Europe to the post-Communist era. The book provides an inside look at Romania’s bloody and turbulent history—a mostly untold narrative that embraces the cruel Ottoman invasions, vying boyars seeking to change the political order at home, and the toppling of t...

Frankenstein : la littérature lui a donné vie, le cinéma l’a pourvu d’un visage. Personnage éponyme du roman de Mary Shelley paru en 1818, il est entré dans l’imaginaire collectif où se confondent parfois créateur et créature. L’histoire de ce mythe devenu aussi effrayant qu’incontournable demeure pourtant méconnue. Villa Diodati, Cologny, 1816. Il était une fois un poète qui, lors d’une nuit sombre et pluvieuse sur les rives du Lac Léman, met au défi ses hôtes d’écrire la meilleure et la plus abominable histoire de fantôme. Ce poète n’est autre que Lord Byron, et parmi ses amis Mary Shelley. Pour bâtir son récit, la jeune femme puise dans la vie de Johann ...

Originally published in French in 2004, Matei Cazacu’s Dracula remains the most authoritative scholarly biography of the Wallachian prince Vlad III the Impaler (1448, 1456-1462, 1476). Its core is an exhaustively researched reconstruction of Dracula’s life and political career, using original sources in more than nine languages. In addition Cazacu traces Dracula’s metamorphosis, at the hands of contemporary propagandists, into variously a bloodthirsty tyrant, and an early modern “great sovereign.” Beyond this Cazacu explores Dracula’s transformation into “the vampire prince” in literature, film and folklore, with surprising new discoveries on Bram Stoker’s sources for his novel. In this first English translation, the text and bibliography are updated, and readers are provided with an appendix of the key sources for Dracula’s life, in fresh and accurate English translations.

L'Histoire du prince Dracula en Europe centrale et orientale (XVe siècle) / Nouvelle édition revue : présentation, édition critique, traduction et commentaire

Dracula, le Prince des Ténèbres entré dans l'imaginaire européen grâce à la fantaisie féconde d'un romancier irlandais du XIXe siècle, Bram Stoker, a une origine bien réelle: la vie assurément sanglante - et pourtant non dépourvue de sagesse - de Vlad III, prince de Valachie, qui régna par intermittence au milieu du XVe siècle. Vlad Tepes (l'Empaleur), car tel est l'autre surnom du prince cruel, fut courageux dans sa lutte contre les Turcs, et prouva son intelligence meurtrière en guerroyant contre les Bulgares. Matei Cazacu étudie l'origine et la diffusion en Europe orientale des différents récits du XVe siècle qui composent la légende de Dracula, et offre une édition critique des textes allemand et russe avec leur traduction française. Si l'édition est savante, la légende se dévore facilement. Le Dracula historique fut sanguinaire, mais sa destinée ne s'achève pas comme celle du héros fantastique: il finit taillé en pièces.
