Petitorul

Petitorul

Translated title: Suitor

Author: Vidich, Paul

Genre: Thriller

Year: 2025 | Pages: 288 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91503

The Suitor was inspired by Markus Wolf, who headed the foreign intelligence service of the Ministry of State Security of the German Democratic Republic for thirty-four years, and who even his fiercest enemies acknowledge as one of the most effective communist spies in Europe during the Cold War. He did not associate romantic relationships with espionage, but Wolf's conception of the Romeo characters advanced the methods of intelligence gatherin
Aventurile detectivului Rafistol si a doctorului Baipas

Aventurile detectivului Rafistol si a doctorului Baipas

Translated title: The Adventures of Detective Rafistol and Doctor Baipas

Series: Volume 2

Author: Surubaru, Mihai

Genre: Crime / Humorous Fiction

Year: 2025 | Pages: 144 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91502

In volume II of the series 'The Adventures of Detective Rafistol and Doctor Baibas', Mihai Surubaru orchestrates with a sure hand a spectacle of ironic absurdity, functional grotesque and a world in which logic is reversed: authority becomes farce, and the tragic is dissected with the scalpel of sarcasm. What transforms this volume into a valuable literary object is not only the author's narrative ability or the ingenious composition of the detective episodes, but the way in which the author manipulates humor. Mihai Surubaru does not offer solutions or judge, but only points the finger at the deep wounds of a world deformed by stupidity, ignorance and fear. The laughter he provokes is not gratuitous, but profound - a laughter in which, in the end, he forces us to ask ourselves: who are we in this tragic comedy called life?
Toata violenta oamenilor

Toata violenta oamenilor

Translated title: All the Violence of People

Author: Colize, Paul

Genre: Crime

Year: 2025 | Pages: 304 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91505

Michel Lebrun Polar Prize 2020.

A young woman is found stabbed to death in her Brussels apartment. All clues point to Nikola Stancovici, an artist who was the last person the victim called before she died. He appears on surveillance footage immediately after the murder, police find his bloodstained clothes, and discover sketches of the crime scene in his studio.

Beneath his lost child appearance, Niko is a genius graffiti artist, nicknamed 'The Tightrope Walk' by the press after a series of anonymous and ultraviolent murals appeared on the streets of the capital. From behind the walls of silence with which he surrounded himself and under psychiatric supervision, the young man denies everything. His only form of defense is to repeat a phrase: 'It wasn't me.'

But Niko's story is intertwined with the story of war-torn Yugoslavia. All the violence of that time finds echoes in the present
Ecuatia lui Dirac

Ecuatia lui Dirac

Translated title: Dirac's Equation

Author: Baciu, E.

Genre: Romance

Year: 2025 | Pages: 278 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91454

In a world where love and loss are two sides of the same coin, Elliot's story unfolds in a game where the past seems to always return to the present.

What does love do when soulmates find each other, but life separates them? Every answer lies at the intersection of life and death.

Dirac's Equation is a story of love, loss, and destiny, an exploration of how the past shapes our present and future, and how, sometimes, the greatest love of our lives is the one that slips through our fingers.

The novel explores a disturbing truth: love is not enough
O dupa-amiaza neobisnuita

O dupa-amiaza neobisnuita

Translated title: An Unusual Afternoon

Author: Cosma, Dan Marius

Genre: Short Stories / Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 236 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91462

Dan Marius Cosma is a prolific, enduring prose writer who strives to survive the vicissitudes of our literary environment, largely hostile to newcomers. His volume of stories 'An Unusual Afternoon' is itself a demonstration of endurance, fragmented, so to speak, of texts of a few pages that, through successive accumulations of the banal everyday, manage to produce the leap into the unique, the fantastic and the magical, using, most often, classic formulas of realistic prose. The events and characters in a dull, gray environment gradually acquire, thanks to the art of narrative and an excellent strategy, a subtle and, at the same time, lasting brilliance, which cannot escape an informed reader. With an open soul and understanding for good literature, we invite you to read Dan Marius Cosma's stories and you will only benefit
Caftul

Caftul

Author: Chirculescu, Florin

Genre: Romance

Year: 2025 | Pages: 304 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91460

The Caftul - A love novel with invective. In the midst of communism.

In socialism, Bucharest students of Military Medicine are sent to Baragan for patriotic agricultural work. Each escapade from the Dragalina farm, on the Ciulnita - Slobozia - Ograda route, can be a breath of fresh air, which liberates and nourishes, but also one that can shackle. The protagonist of the book, Secundo, will feel this firsthand. Because, alongside his 'companions in suffering', with the constant thought of Baca, the one who has no equal, he constantly gets into all sorts of... messes.

A novel of love and confrontation, Caftul tells us the story of permanent tensions: between passionate love and sex, between power and powerlessness, between brutality and fragility, between meaning and its lack, between ideas and deeds, between conspiracies and ideologies. Between struggles - verbal, emotional, symbolic or physical
Pe urmele tale

Azimut. Meridianul 25

Azimut. Meridianul 25

Translated title: Azimuth. 25th Meridian

Author: Lesenciuc, Adrian

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 310 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91489

It is a kind of oriental chess game, played by several partners, some daring, some intelligent, some downright wise, in which draws occur as the case may be, glorifying now one, now another of those engaged in the confrontation. This agonal aspect remains in its essence playful, but the game is serious and excites the reader who dares to follow the writer.

Regardless of the result, in the end it turns out that the victory belongs to the triumphant discourse, and to the author behind it, and to the reader who followed him among the volutes, under and over the clouds, in the ballet of ideas and intuitions that they translate

Translated title: Where Do People in Love End up After Falling out of Love

Author: Tucan, Ana-Valeria

Genre: Romance

Year: 2025 | Pages: 208 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91459

'Where do birds go when they fly?' Known to everyone, this rhetorical question still signifies an uncertainty expressed by a smile at the corner of the mouth.

But 'Where do people in love go after they fall out of love?' Probably, caught in the whirlwind of 'falling out of love', few have asked themselves the question and even fewer have sought the answer. In reality, the answer, in its concrete form, may not even exist, but may actually constitute an accumulation of experiences and actions that cannot be quantified in words.

Does Ana Valeria Tucanr manage to find it in this volume? It is up to the reader to decide, after browsing the pages written in an alert and modern tempo, sprinkled with humor that often disguises disappointment.

Written as a romance novel, the volume Where People in Love Go After Falling Out of Love simply represents everyday life, with everything that entails. Plus love
