Genre: Social Novel

It is a kind of oriental chess game, played by several partners, some daring, some intelligent, some downright wise, in which draws occur as the case may be, glorifying now one, now another of those engaged in the confrontation. This agonal aspect remains in its essence playful, but the game is serious and excites the reader who dares to follow the writer.
Regardless of the result, in the end it turns out that the victory belongs to the triumphant discourse, and to the author behind it, and to the reader who followed him among the volutes, under and over the clouds, in the ballet of ideas and intuitions that they translate
Orizont imperfect
Translated title: Imperfect Horizon
Author: Tache, Ionel
Genre: Social Novel
Year: 2025 | Pages: 144 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91479
'Imperfect Horizon' is an attempt to introduce the reader to the daily life of the main characters, with their accomplishments and illusions.
The main characters are more deeply portrayed because all the action takes place around them, being exponential in their interaction with the other less sketched characters. The two characters oscillate between the deep joy of fulfillment and the futile, useless search for the precious thing lost, respectively between the easy life and the almost desperate rush to the horizon, hoping not to miss the only train to complete fulfillment. Reality is strictly tangential to the imagination, meeting only at a few points necessary to anchor everything in a real time and necessary to give veracity to the characters

Trapped for twenty years between Spain and Romania, between a 'home' to which she is connected through a screen blurred by a weak internet connection and the torpor of the 'El Titi' campsite, which is both her home and place of work, Sofia plans her return to the country. On the verge of retirement, she enters a whirlwind of memories, remorse, attachments and introspection.
In retrospect, the landmarks of her life become increasingly vague. Her native language no longer belongs entirely to her, while her adopted one is impossible to assimilate, Europe and abroad are two barely perceptible universes, limited to airports and the time zone difference, compatriots make themselves heard, more than anything else, through posts on Facebook groups, and her son, the motivation behind her clandestine departure, seems lost long before she realized it

Series: Book 2
Author: Voicu, Adrian
Genre: Humorous Fiction / Short Stories
Year: 2025 | Pages: 180 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91464
Adrian Voicu's stories are born in the break between two flights and a coffee drunk in the cold of the office, between healthy laughter and dreamy thoughts from a gloomy day, following a call from an old friend or in the rare moments of respite from plane trips, where he meets exotic characters and unexpected stories. In the second book in the series Stories from the Airport and Nearby, the author continues to gather people around words, as in a soulful cafe, without walls, but with a warm and familiar atmosphere.
With Grégoire, Jules, Pierrot, Babu, Argon and Panseluta as your flight and story companions, each page is an invitation to laughter, reflection and, above all, to intimacy. Seemingly banal, the events gain flavor through the way they are told - with irresistible humor, self-irony, intelligence and an embracing humanity.
In a hurried and chaotic world, the writer reminds us that a good story can be the anchor of a friendship, the refuge of a hard day, or the start of an evening with a smile on your face.
A book about flights, meetings, comrades, and life that is worth living with gusto and optimism at all times
Salinger si fata cu parul roscat
Translated title: Salinger and the Girl with Red Hair
Author: Mocuta, Andrei
Genre: Short Stories
Year: 2025 | Pages: 288 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91466
A magnetic, lucid and irresistible prose, in which a doctoral thesis gradually takes on the shape of an interior novel, and Salinger is just the ideal pretext to talk about loneliness, fascination and the deep need to be listened to. At the seminar led by a reserved and ironic doctoral student, the lectures become mirrors, and the students' comments - confessions.
In Salinger and the Girl with the Red Hair, Andrei Mocuta manages the rare feat of transforming room 420, with its dusty air and gentle fluorescence, into a living, tense, often tender space, where the professor's voice oscillates between erudition and vulnerability.
Surrounded by lyrical interventions, eccentric observations and silences with subtext, he discreetly keeps his attention, while literature opens bridges between generations, between solitudes, but especially between words and feelings. And the girl with the red hair and ethereal gestures spreads a gentle mystery, enough to keep you captivated until the last page
Dincolo
Translated title: Beyond
Author: Radovan, Diana
Genre: Short Stories / Social Novel
Year: 2025 | Pages: 144 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91474
Have you ever wondered what places, what moments make up and define you?
Can you say with certainty what home means?
For people who live between worlds, home becomes the very interstice, that intermediate space between two successive redefinitions.
Diana Radovan's personal and travel essays will take you across contemporary Germany, but especially into the vulnerable interior of the immigrant who searches, in this fascinating and strange topography, for the metaphorical map of her own rediscovery.
Diana Radovan writes about how we lose ourselves and how we find ourselves throughout our lives. And I didn't think it was possible to write so honestly about what the experience of a life in search means. The search for a place, a state, a home. A combination of a West and an East that are personal to Diana, but which become, as we browse her pages, personal to ourselves

Translated title: 12 Unnatural Stories
Author: Amoran, Lucian-Claudiu
Genre: Short Stories
Year: 2025 | Pages: 308 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91475
The volume brings together twelve short prose texts, written over the years, at large and irregular intervals, starting in adolescence, and (re)discovered through a few notebooks already yellowed by time and two files recovered with difficulty from a floppy disk long out of use.
The themes are varied, but the common thread that unites them is... the unnaturalness of the events narrated and/or the characters that populate them

I wrote this book in memory of my husband. Seventeen years have passed since then. And ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, continues to strike. Science has not yet found answers to the disease. ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the progressive loss of muscle strength in the face, chest, abdomen and limbs.
Through my confession, I wanted to share with the world my experience, my feelings, so that they would know how to deal with an ALS patient. At the same time, I also wrote as a therapy for my soul. It is my story, of the woman who lost her half after a battle with ALS... And she managed to survive... she rose from the ashes, finding meaning in life... She freed herself from the past, opening herself to the future, becoming a new, strong woman. She did not forget, but she allowed herself to live, to love and to be loved. Maybe this was also a lesson that helped her to be strong... and to shine

Michel Lebrun Polar Prize 2020.
A young woman is found stabbed to death in her Brussels apartment. All clues point to Nikola Stancovici, an artist who was the last person the victim called before she died. He appears on surveillance footage immediately after the murder, police find his bloodstained clothes, and discover sketches of the crime scene in his studio.
Beneath his lost child appearance, Niko is a genius graffiti artist, nicknamed 'The Tightrope Walk' by the press after a series of anonymous and ultraviolent murals appeared on the streets of the capital. From behind the walls of silence with which he surrounded himself and under psychiatric supervision, the young man denies everything. His only form of defense is to repeat a phrase: 'It wasn't me.'
But Niko's story is intertwined with the story of war-torn Yugoslavia. All the violence of that time finds echoes in the present
