Romania occupies a unique position on the map of Eastern Europe. It is a country that presents many paradoxes. In this book the pre-eminent Romanian historian Lucian Boia examines his native land`s development from the Middle Ages to modern times, delineating its culture, history, language, politics & ethnic identity. Boia introduces us to the heroes & myths of Romanian history, & provides an enlightening account of the history of Romanian Communism.

Rosemary Rennon discovered Romania in 1993 when she went hunting for the small village where her father was born. She was captivated by its scenery & by the simplicity of a country just awakening from its long communist nightmare. Unfamiliar to many due to its long isolation, Romania is comprised of five distinct regions resulting from both their unique landscapes & their historical populations of Dacians, Romanians, Germans, Hungarians & Turks. In addition to its rolling green hills & valleys, with the arc of the Carpathian mountain chain in its centre, the country`s southeastern region on the Black Sea provides a massive wildlife refuge, as well as miles of sandy beach resorts. Its cities are filled with outstanding architectural gems & modern activities. All this, plus a fascinating, turbulent history & the lovely Romanian tongue-considered by many to be the original romance language-belong to a culture one will never want to leave. ...
