World War I and the Birth of a New World Order
This volume will serve to enrich the reader’s understanding of the impact of World War I on Eastern Europe, by bringing together authors from all over Europe specialising in the history of this area. It presents a retrospective approach and a re-evaluation of this event, the lasting effects of which still make themselves felt in some regions today. Case studies, memoirs, journals, and the printed press of the time are all examined in order to paint a vivid picture of the Great War in Eastern Europe, and particularly in Romania. The chapters offer fresh perspectives on topics connected to the war, including the contribution of women and the emancipation opportunities for them, the social changes that occurred, and the propaganda in Romanian territory. They also review the League of Nations and the protection of international minorities, particularly in those regions where new boundaries were created, and where the application of national self-determination still left substantial communities outside the frontiers of the respective states.
Völkerwanderungszeitliche "Blechfibeln"
Because of their chronology and geographical distribution, double-plate fibulas - pins for closing clothing - have long been regarded as a clear archaeological indicator for the Gothic migrations known from written sources. The present study undertakes a critical appraisal of previous interpretations of this central category of find from the Great Migration Period and their methodological bases. The subsequent systematic new analysis leads to a far more sophisticated view.

Liberalism, Constitutional Nationalism, and Minorities
Winner of the 2019 CEU Award for Outstanding Research This book documents the making of Romanian citizenship from 1750 to 1918 as a series of acts of national self-determination by the Romanians, as well as the emancipation of subordinated gender, social, and ethno-religious groups. It focuses on the progression of a sum of transnational “questions” that were at the heart of North-Atlantic, European, and local politics during the long nineteenth century, concerning the status of peasants, women, Greeks, Jews, Roma, Armenians, Muslims, and Dobrudjans. The analysis emphasizes the fusion between nationalism and liberalism, and the emancipatory impact national-liberalism had on the transitio...

Nostalgia
'Cartarescu is one of the great literary voices of Central Europe' Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel Prize winner and author of Flights 'A Danubian Narnia. . . his writing delivers a rainbow-hued riot of fantasy, imagination and invention' Boyd Tonkin, Spectator A dreamlike novel of memory and magic, Nostalgia turns the dark world of Communist Bucharest into a place of strange enchantments. Here a man plays increasingly death-defying games of Russian Roulette, a child messiah works his magic in the tenements, a young man explores gender boundaries, a woman relives her youth and an architect becomes obsessed with the sound of his new car horn - with unexpected consequences. Blending reality and symbolism, time and myth, this is a cult masterwork from Romania's most celebrated writer.

Deportarea în Bărăgan
Trei foşti deportaţi în Bărăgan, doi scriitori, un arhitect şi un reporter, plus şoferul, au luat drumul Bărăganului la 44 de ani fără o lună de la nenorocirea abătută peste Banat în 18 iunie 1951. Peste 40.000 de suflete (românibănăţeni, nemţi, aromâni, basarabeni, bucovineni, sârbiş.a.) au fost suite în bou-vagoane, care-cum, şi duse în Câmpia Bărăganului. Au pornit pe urmele lor, dar nu în vagoane CFR, ci intr-un microbuz Ford, inginerul Silviu Sarafoleanu (preşedinte AFDB), deportat din Comloşu Mare la Măzăreni la vârsta de patru ani, profesorul Vasile Fantaziu, basarabean deportat la Movila Gâldăului, dr. ing. Teofil Subu, deportat din Obad la Valea Viilor, Viorel Marineasa şi Daniel Vighi, autorii volumului Rusalii ’51, Mihai Botescu, arhitect regăţean pasionat de fotografie, Valentin Sămînţă, copil de paori deportaţi din Ferendia în satul Olaru, şi Costel din Dalboşeţ, şoferul. In trei zile şi ceva echipajul pornit din capitala Banatului a colindat Bărăganul într-o „expediţie în căutarea istoriei”, cum a botezat cineva acest exerciţiu de memorie în ţara lui Panait Istrati.
