Description

The former U.S. Ambassador to Romania and his wife, a journalist, call today’s Romania the “New Italy.” Their comprehensive tour of the country shows that cutting-edge technology co-exists with centuries-old Orthodox practices, and Transylvania, an area long-contested by Romanians and Hungarians, is now at peace. In addition they reflect on how Maramure, once home to large number of Jews (including Elie Wiesel), has come to terms with its Holocaust history. Drawing on conversations with a wide range of Romanians, the authors have painted a rich and warm portrait of an exciting nation.

More about Politics & Prose
Politics & Prose
Our customers see us as a community center, a notion that we have fostered to the best of our ability. In this increasingly fragmented age people crave public places where they can relax with friends or in solitude. We have consciously attempted to provide this environment through our coffeehouse, and in the store with comfortable chairs for reading and relaxing (which we have provided since we opened fourteen years ago), and especially through our public events. We provide a mix of talks and readings to appeal to old and young, women and men, black and white—some for entertainment and others for raising issues.
