Pe Drumurile Istoriei. Volume I (original) (raw)

"This book – full of savour and hence fascinating – hardly meets the requirements of a particular genre of writing. The memories are the apanage of individual recollection, whereas the stories pertain to the collective memory. Consequently, there ensues the preconception that reconstituting the frescoes of the past with the craftsmanship of the historian is superior to the narration of certain episodes lived.[...] Tasin Gemil reveals himself here as a historian, researcher, professor, participant in the political life, diplomat, institutional leader, coordinator, etc., but His Excellency remains first and foremost a Man amongst men, participant in the creation and writing of the contemporary Romanian history."
