RED ALERT FOR ROMANIA: The Second Edition - Revised and Supplemented

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 322 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | RED ALERT FOR ROMANIA is, apparently, a seductive adventure novel, built according to all the rules of the genre: seismologists involved in the series of events caused by the collapse of a Soviet military satellite, secret services engaged in tough operations to recover the satellite's remote-control code, double agents. But the adventure, although captivating, is only a pretext that motivates the foray into a sick world - Romania before 1989, in the last period of Ceaüescu's communist dictatorship. The novel's epilogue brings us to Romania after 1989 whose continuities suffocate changes, revealing their fragility. Professor Dr. Silviu ANGELESCU University of Bucharest The dynamism of the action, the unadorned style, the snappy dialogue throughout the novel, make RED ALERT FOR ROMANIA an attractive and very accessible read. Beyond genre fiction, the novel can be considered a valuable document of the totalitarian communist era in Eastern Europe, which was an unfortunate social experiment and an accident of history, that Humanity must never repeat. Ioana VARGA Professor of Literature. Artikel-Nr. 43101231/1
