Pestii cubanezi

Pestii cubanezi

Translated title: Cuban Fish

Author: Stanescu, Bogdan-Alexandru

Genre: Short Stories

Year: 2025 | Pages: 256 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91468

Far from being an attempt at psychobiographical analysis, this book is rather an attempt to unify two sides apparently separated by a chasm: life and work, like two halves of a symbolon, both equally mysterious and inexhaustible in interpretation. They do not explain each other, rather they deepen the mystery that the Author constitutes for me. The heroes of this book enter the binder carrying the colorful scales of a vanished world, but whose shadow casts its coldness on the one we live in. They are my Cuban fish, whose contemplation helps me to keep my inner space intact, paradoxically, admiring the pattern of struggles waged in the world. Equally paradoxically, the eyes that admire the colorful scales of the fish belong to authors who do not appear de facto in the book, but are ghostly presences, reading filters located outside the binder, looking over the philatelist's shoulder

Author: Lavin, Cristi

Genre: Crime / Thriller

Year: 2025 | Pages: 320 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91504

London is the financial center of the world, but at certain fateful moments it also happens to become the center of crime. Tom is a charming but old-fashioned Londoner who practices a profession so shameful that it would make even prostitutes blush.

One day, while surfing the Internet, looking for a social media specialist, he discovered the following ad: 'I'm not on Facebook, contact me by phone! No matter who gets in your way, I'll solve your problems: with a gun, a knife, or a nylon stocking. In case you want something more spectacular, I'll tie them to the tracks and make sure they don't miss the train! If someone gives you a headache, don't try aspirin - try a hired assassin!'

The truth is that the best PR is an assassin, so the irony of fate made Tom meet the right person. However, this type of professionals, like the hired assassins, cannot be found on all roads, but you have to dig deep into the Dark Web until you find one. But sometimes they do appear in the light, and Tom is lucky and hits the crime headquarters on the first try. And so he can make the difference between the wolf into whose den he has ventured and the other people he knows. And the differences are not as great as he imagined, because inside each of us lies a criminal.

So, besides the elite assassins, there are also the small assassins, those who sneak discreetly into our lives and who slowly poison us. There is a Dark Web in everyone's entourage. The whole point is not to neglect the warning signs around you. Tom slaloms among the criminals, managing to escape safe and sound. But he will not escape depression either, because it is not at all pleasant to surprise every person with criminal intentions as often as you see buses on the street

Year: 2025 | Pages: 336 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91491

The Artificial Judge is a tense dystopian novel, a unique exploration of freedom, morality, and the fragility of a society that has forgotten what it's like to judge its own actions.

In a future where humans have ceded the power to decide between good and evil to an artificial intelligence, Ana dreams only of a clean career as a police officer. She respects the law, believes in order and the idea that a cold but fair system can make the world a better place, until an absurd accusation hits her straight in the heart: her own sister is declared guilty by the Artificial Judge - the supreme entity that determines the fate of every citizen.

Suddenly, Ana's certainties crack. A world governed by algorithms seems to totter under the weight of a single question: what happens when technological perfection collides with human imperfection? In a system where even thoughts are no longer private, Ana discovers that truth has a price, and justice is no longer a value, but a calculation.

Together with Mihnea, a police officer who has experienced all possible disillusionments, and a hacker who lives in the shadows, Ana steps into an investigation that goes beyond the limits of the law. Step by step, she discovers that the peace of society is based on a programmed silence, and error is no longer a human mistake, but a crime against the algorithm
