Adrian Voicu's stories are born in the break between two flights and a coffee drunk in the cold of the office, between healthy laughter and dreamy thoughts from a gloomy day, following a call from an old friend or in the rare moments of respite from plane trips, where he meets exotic characters and unexpected stories. In the second book in the series Stories from the Airport and Nearby, the author continues to gather people around words, as in a soulful cafe, without walls, but with a warm and familiar atmosphere.
With Grégoire, Jules, Pierrot, Babu, Argon and Panseluta as your flight and story companions, each page is an invitation to laughter, reflection and, above all, to intimacy. Seemingly banal, the events gain flavor through the way they are told - with irresistible humor, self-irony, intelligence and an embracing humanity.
In a hurried and chaotic world, the writer reminds us that a good story can be the anchor of a friendship, the refuge of a hard day, or the start of an evening with a smile on your face.
A book about flights, meetings, comrades, and life that is worth living with gusto and optimism at all times

I wrote this book in memory of my husband. Seventeen years have passed since then. And ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, continues to strike. Science has not yet found answers to the disease. ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the progressive loss of muscle strength in the face, chest, abdomen and limbs.
Through my confession, I wanted to share with the world my experience, my feelings, so that they would know how to deal with an ALS patient. At the same time, I also wrote as a therapy for my soul. It is my story, of the woman who lost her half after a battle with ALS... And she managed to survive... she rose from the ashes, finding meaning in life... She freed herself from the past, opening herself to the future, becoming a new, strong woman. She did not forget, but she allowed herself to live, to love and to be loved. Maybe this was also a lesson that helped her to be strong... and to shine

Iulia Gherasim creates a feminine family realism beyond fashion and the favorite themes of the moment. Whether she evokes the atmosphere of novelty and insecurity of the '90s, the corporate ethos, the lifestyle, the challenges and anxieties of the middle-class woman of these times, she does it with remarkable naturalness, intelligence and humor, with attention to detail and an art of dialogue and phrasing
Decuplari monstruoase
Translated title: Monstrous Disconnections
Author: Moldovan, Alex
Genre: Short Stories / Social Novel
Year: 2025 | Pages: 128 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91463
Be very careful when you fight with yourself. It is possible to win. That is, to lose.'
A disconnection from the background and a narrator-character who arrives in a space dominated by an uncertain color - neither dark nor light, neither warm nor cold. Not black, not white, rather gray, like mouse fur. There he sits crookedly and judges monstrously life situations, relationships between people or people's relationships with themselves. His thoughts, essentially distorted and devoid of substance, slide into an absurdity treated with sarcasm. The biting irony targets others, it also targets himself. All sorts of things happen, which means almost nothing. And this nothing, captured in countless shades, is presented with a luxury of detail that leads to an intense sensation of the fullness of emptiness
Ferenike
Author: Rusti, Doina
Genre: Social Novel
Year: 2025 | Pages: 252 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91480
Alive, flowing (like the river in the book, on the banks of which Doina Rusti builds her own Macondo, a place where no one is allowed to look at the clock), the story in Ferenike conquers through color and ingenuity.
The events and places, the house and the mill, the fountain, the things (however big, however small), the land, the water, although they seem to have a unique autobiographical correspondent, fixed in reality, all open up towards the symbol and (sometimes) the fantastic.
And the characters, with names ranging from picturesque to strange, are a gallery of paintings painted front and back, reality and fiction. In their midst, looking at them with the eyes of then and now, is a little girl who wears dresses on the hems of which are written all the names she would have liked instead of the one she received

Translated
The survivor is caught in a lie. The press turns misfortune into spectacle. Those outside the community claim that the event never even took place. What really happened on Day 1?
A gunman attacks a school in a small English seaside town, setting off a chain of events that throws the entire community into chaos. The wounds never heal, as the residents are hounded by both the press and conspiracy theorists.
But even between them there is no longer that understanding that made Stonesmere an almost idyllic space.
Everyone has their own version of the events of Day 1, secrets are buried too deep, suspicions are rooted too strongly. Clues to the truth are hidden behind shaky facades that could bring down the entire city.
A psychological novel that smolders, playing with the mind of the reader and the characters, and that describes the conflict between truth and personal interpretation, between direct experience and conspiracy theories, between the pursuit of sensation and the attempt to overcome a tragedy

Two estranged brothers. One woman. An authoritarian father killed by a galloping cancer. A wedding on the fast track.
Arriving urgently from Canada with Mircea, Ina defies the stereotypes that Silviu, her future brother-in-law, tries to fit her into. Mircea, obsessed with business, neglects her. Left alone in the Fagaras Mountains, Silviu and Ina grope each other on a dangerous ridge route. The magnetism is palpable. When the elements are unleashed, the two collapse into an intimacy that weakens them. Over the moral impasse, the pandemic spreads. Life is an unpredictable flood, and from the proximity of death, the question resounds, irrepressible:
To betray or to betray, endlessly, only yourself? A love story, but also a psychological novel about taboos and traumas, rivalry and resentment, faith and cruelty, technology and direct experience. An X-ray of a fractured society and an allegory about opposing visions that need each other to complete themselves
