„Fie că i se cere, fie din proprie iniţiativă, Petru Comarnescu divulgă tot, de cele mai multe ori, pe un ton neutru; în anumite cazuri, totuşi, când se referă la persoane pe care le antipatizează sau care l-ar fi nedreptăţit, comentariile devin acide, iar informaţiile sau insinuările, compromiţătoare. Îşi găsesc aicio supapă şi frustrările (acute) sociale şi intelectuale ale lui Petru Comarnescu. Iată-i, prinşi ca într-un insectar, pe toţi cei care nu i-au acordat importanţa meritată!

Însă valoarea literară a multor pagini este indubitabilă. Laolaltă, alcătuiesc un fel de Comedie umană a lumii intelectuale şi artistice româneşti din anii '50 şi '60. Petru Comarnescu şi-a ratat «marea operă» a vieţii. Să o fi reuşit agentul Anton?“ (Lucian BOIA) Selecţie, introducere şi comentariu de Lucian Boia

It provides insights into how Radio Free Europe filled the information vacuum, how the political police, the Securitate, worked as f...

The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was the most spectacularly violent and remains today the most controversial of all the East European upheavals of that year. Despite (or perhaps because of) the media attention the revolution received, it remains shrouded in mystery. How did the seemingly impregnable Ceausescu regime come to be toppled so swiftly and how did Ion Iliescu and the National Salvation Front come to power? Was it by coup d'état? Who were the mysterious "terrorists" who wreaked such havoc on the streets of Bucharest and the other major cities of Romania? Were they members of the notorious securitate? What was the role of the Soviet Union?Blending narrative with analysis, Peter Siani...

Kierkegaard has long been known as a philosopher and theologian, but his contributions to psychology, anthropology and sociology have also made an important impact on these fields. In many of the works of his complex authorship, Kierkegaard presents his intriguing and unique vision of the nature and mental life of human beings individually and collectively. The articles featured in the present volume explore the reception of Kierkegaard's thought in the social sciences. Of these fields Kierkegaard is perhaps best known in psychology, where The Concept of Anxiety and The Sickness unto Death have been the two most influential texts. With regard to the field of sociology, social criticism, or social theory, Kierkegaard's Literary Review of Two Ages has also been regarded as offering valuable insights about some important dynamics of modern society..
