"Uma síntese perspicaz e muito necessária dirigida a todos aqueles que desejam compreender a história, a política, a cultura e a sociedade romenas."
- Professor Vladimir Tismaneanu, University of Maryland,
autor de Stalinismo para todas as estações: uma história política do comunismo romeno
As a country, Romania has only been in existence since 1859, but the history of its people stretches back to the late Bronze Age and the early Iron Age, to the Geto-Dacians and the Romans. This concise yet thorough narrative tells the fascinating story of the evolution of the Romanians, the creation of the Romanian Principalities, their struggle against empire-building powers, and their eventual unification to form the state of Romania.
Many chapters begin with a section called "Perspective", which provides context for Romanian history by describing events occurring simultaneously in other parts of Europe. The book’s engaging, accessible format features over eighty illustrations, maps, and charts. It is ideal for the student, traveler, or generally curious reader.
Nicolae Klepper was born in Bucharest, Romania. He moved to America at the outbreak of World War II and had no contact with the country of his birth for 50 years. That changed in 1989, when he watched the footage of the revolution and collapse of Communism in Romania. Out of his renewed connection with Romania came his first book, Taste of Romania: Its Cookery and Glimpses of Its History, Folklore, Art, Literature and Poetry (Hipocreno Books, 1997). Agora aposentado, Klepper mora em Edimburgo, na Escócia.
