Genre: Romance

Year: 2025 | Pages: 284 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91450

The protagonists go through a series of tensions, which, for a good part of the time, portray them as the worst enemies, because they come from different social backgrounds, Vanessa, being the only child of a wealthy family, and Puiu, the young man abandoned at birth in an orphanage, born to a Romanian mother and a Roma father.

However, chance encounters and repeated teasing with a bittersweet flavor lead them to the thrill of love that is born and gradually grows. Despite the revenge plan, hatched against Vanessa, Puiu falls into the trap of his own vanity, acquiring in an unpredictable form the hypostasis of being in love.

The relationship between the fierce Romanian woman and the charming Puiu, who lives in a Roma neighborhood, according to completely different social rules than those known to Vanessa, unexpectedly changes the lives of both of them.

Madly in love with the man, the woman enters his world, discovers it, accepts it and wants to understand it. Despite financial difficulties, emotional turmoil and the prejudices of those around her, Vanessa puts above love, the feeling of security with her life partner, to whom she offers all her trust and love

Following his grandfather's passion, Tanner Hughes chose a military career and spent his entire life abroad. He still loves the road and adventure and can't wait to go on his next mission, having no desire to settle down at home. But his grandmother, before she passes away, disturbs him with her last words - 'Find your place' - and also reveals the name of his father, whom Tanner never knew, and the city where he can find him. Although Tanner has to go on his next mission, curiosity is stronger, so he first sets off for Asheboro, North Carolina, to verify what his grandmother said.

In town for less than a day, Tanner meets Kaitlyn Cooper, a doctor and single mother. They both feel an immediate connection: he knows she has a story to tell and wants to hear it, and she sees him as a mysterious and fascinating man who is leaving in a few weeks.

In the same town lives Jasper, a lonely old man, secluded in a cabin on the edge of the forest. With only his elderly dog, Arlo, for company, Jasper lives hidden from the world, haunted by a tragic accident that occurred decades ago. But when he hears that a white deer has been sighted in the area - a legendary creature that inspired his father and grandfather - his only thought is to protect the animal from poachers.

As the destinies of these characters begin to intertwine, none of them expect a miracle from fate, but this is exactly what could change their future forever

Translated title: Fascinating Incident - a Human Life!

Author: Romanescu, Paula

Genre: Short Stories

Year: 2025 | Pages: 262 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91470

Un detectiv si niste tablouri dintr-o expozitie si alte povestiri

Un detectiv si niste tablouri dintr-o expozitie si alte povestiri

Translated title: A Detective and Some Paintings from an Exhibition and Other Stories

Author: Bergler, Igor

Genre: Thriller / Short Stories

Year: 2025 | Pages: 202 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91492

A text of insane density, intelligent and entertaining at the same time, in which Márquez meets Borges, Kafka meets Goethe and Eco meets Bulgakov. A book not to be missed, a roller coaster that you can't ride without a seatbelt and where nothing is what it seems.

After the first two books, The Lost Bible and The Testament of Abraham, both massive on the outside, inexhaustible on the inside, surprising and unique in our current literature - this is just to suppress my temptation to make even more radical statements, Igor Bergler seems to be taking a short breather and relaxing with six short stories.

Paradoxically, bigger on the inside than on the outside, partly recovered and reconfigured from the scrap metal wagons left after the construction site of the two novels, they align beautifully and consequently manifest the most mischievous, most unpredictable, most melancholic or sadder and, why not, most ethical categories of devils.

But what, after all, are Igor Bergler's demons?

Are they entities of hell, cruel punishments that man must endure for the simple reason that evil is the obligatory complement of good, are they forces of dissolution, because they cannot bear the grandeur of creation, or, simply, are they our more or less conscious nature, are they our energies set free or, who knows, if not our great chance to penetrate where the common good and cautious gesture give us no chance?

But until a convincing answer, which only the reader can provide, one thing is beyond discussion: with these six surprising stories, Igor Bergler, in addition to managing to say in flashbacks what he has so far only said in epics, also brings new specimens of devils to our literary hell, much improved compared to other similar products, which, obviously, will not be easily forgiven
Asistenta

Asistenta

Translated title: Assistance

Author: Pistol, Cristian

Genre: Crime / Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 0 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91507

How much does the environment you're born into matter? When a seemingly ordinary nurse is found dead, a massive investigation is launched.

Suddenly, the entire case abandons individual boundaries and becomes a mirror of society. It is no longer about a person who lived and died, but about what it means to exist in a parallel world to the one in which everyone seems to be living their lives.

The dedication 'For every cry left unheard in the tumult of a world dominated by continuous tragedies' refers to the struggle to also matter to the people on the other side of the barricade.

It is about the effort to extract compassion and involvement not only in moments of calamity, but also in the face of other types of catastrophes, which are not always visible, but which are felt deep within us.

The nurse emphasizes that, despite the chaos and constant noise of tragedies that surround us, there are many forms of suffering that remain hidden, but which do not deserve to be forgotten
Decuplari monstruoase

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
Anotimpul Persefonei

Anotimpul Persefonei

Translated title: The Season of Persephone

Povestiri din aeroport si de pe langa

Povestiri din aeroport si de pe langa

Translated title: Stories from the Airport and Beyond

Series: Book 2

Author: Voicu, Adrian

Genre: Humorous Fiction / Short Stories

Year: 2025 | Pages: 180 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91464

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
