This volume is, in some ways, a restitution to world culture of several works or, in some cases, authors who, out of various reasons, have not yet been translated into English. We are, obviously, tributary to our likes and dislikes as human beings, since operation of getting into somebody s voice is not only hard, but also, in some (obscure) ways tributary to our own personalities. Therefore, our choices in some way reflect ourselves. ( Costache Negruzzi, Gala Galaction, Liviu Rebreanu, Mihail Sadoveanu, Mircea Eliade, Stefan Banulescu )
