Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Princess of Transylvania/ Christmas Miracles", an impressive story of a girl's destiny. The story begins on the magical Christmas evening with the little girl's desire to become a princess and the wife of the voivode of Transylvania. It is impressive how the author, who was not born in these lands, captures the beauty, mystery and magic of Transylvania. The realm we enter, and whose key is the story, is not isolated and has no clearly defined barriers. He pours out on the world, on people and with the help of the story he refines his past and envelops his present with meanings. Stories explain the world we live in, you tell a man's story and you understand the world he lives in, you understand his environment and the laws according to which things move. All generations grow up revolving around stories. But how much are we willing to believe in stories when we are adults? But when we are children? Did we ever stop being children? Can we drive this mood away once and for all? And for those of us who might answer "Yes!", can we be sure that we won't wake up hopping back and forth when we least expect it? Magic and mystery are two things that overlap, intersect and create very special worlds that will always attract attention. I'm not going to debate the subject of the book here, because I want to let you discover for yourself the flavor of a world of imagination dotted with magic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE FAIRY TALE "CALL OF BLOOD", IS A BOOK FOR ALL AGES. THIS IS THE BOOK WHERE THE ACTION DEVELOPS DYNAMICALLY, AND KEEPS THE READER IN PERMANENT SUSPENSE, EXPECTATION, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF ADVENTURE AND FANTASY ACTION. IT'S NO SECRET THAT BLOOD IS THE MOST AMAZING TISSUE OF OUR BODY. THE MOBILITY OF BLOOD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONDITION OF THE LIFE OF THE ORGANISM. BLOOD IS RECOGNIZED AS A MIGHTY AND EXCEPTIONAL POWER IN THE SECRET SCIENCE, AND THEREFORE THE BLOOD WAS BOUND WITH SACRED VOWS, AND THE PRIESTS FORCED THEIR WOODEN IDOLS TO "CRY WITH BLOOD". SOME PHILOSOPHERS OF ANCIENT GREECE BELIEVED THAT BLOOD WAS THE BEARER OF THE SOUL. THE MEANING OF THE THIRD PART OF "THE PRINCESS OF TRANSYLVANIA", CALLED "CALL OF BLOOD" IS THE EXISTENCE OF GENERIC CONNECTION. NOBODY CAN DENY THAT BELONGING TO A FAMILY IS A BOND ALMOST EVERYONE IN THE WORLD SHARES. IT'S A BOND NO ONE CAN BREAK BECAUSE THE THINGS WE NEED MOST DEEPLY IN OUR LIVES SUCH AS LOVE, COMMUNICATION, RESPECT AND GOOD RELATIONSHIPS HAVE THEIR BEGINNINGS IN THE FAMILY. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE CALL OF BLOOD GOES THROUGH LIFE AND ATTRACTS RELATIVES IN ANY GOOD OR BAD SITUATIONS. THE STRONGER THE GENUS IS, THE MORE THE NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT PERSONALITIES IN IT. THE CALL OF BLOOD AFFECTS OUR ACTIONS, CHARACTER TRAITS WE INHERITED TOGETHER WITH THE SIMILARITY OF FACE AND BODY FROM OUR RELATIVES. THE MEMORY OF OUR ANCESTORS WAKES UP IN US, AND HELPS IN SOME WAY OR OTHER, AS IN THE BOOK, THE PATH TO VICTORY OVER THE COMPLEXITIES IN DESTINY IT'S NOT ONLY THEIR OWN WAY, BUT ALSO THOSE WHO HELP TO COME TO A GOOD RESULT. IULIA JILINSCHI'S BOOKS ENABLE THE HEROES TO EDUCATE THOSE WHO READ HER NOVELS AND FAIRY TALES, AND KNOW THAT ONLY HONEST AND DECENT PEOPLE REACH THE HEIGHTS AND GLORIFY THEIR KIND.

Book excerpt: The authors of this work - obviously of different nationalities - have tried to depict the past of all Transylvania's inhabitants. It is up to readers and particularly to specialists to assess how well they have done this. This second volume, like the first one, is only an attempt to reflect the new historiographic findings and interpretations. It tries to deepen one's knowledge of one's roots in present-day Europe, a continent still in the making, a continent of many different inhabitants, regions, ethnic groups and nations. It is our belief that the desire to know the past - far from reflecting an obtuse, selfish and past-driven attitude - is part of human nature, of our search for our roots, for the collective memory we have been creating with such hardiness and passion, just like we build our life.

Book excerpt: Earthly Delights brings together a number of substantial and original scholarly studies by international scholars currently working on the history of food in the Ottoman Empire and East-Central Europe. It offers new empirical research, as well as surveys of the state of scholarship in this discipline, with special emphasis on influences, continuities and discontinuities in the culinary cultures of the Ottoman Porte, the Balkans and East-Central Europe between the 17th and 19th centuries. Some contributions address economic aspects of food provision, the development and trans-national circulation of individual dishes, and the role of merchants, diplomats and travellers in the transmission of culinary trends. Others examine the role of food in the construction of national and regional identities in contact zones where local traditions merged or clashed with imperial (Ottoman, Habsburg) and West-European influences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book revisits the trajectory of one section of Patrick Leigh Fermor's famous pedestrian excursion from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. This S.O.E. officer walked into Hungary as a youth of 19 at Easter of 1934 and left Transylvania in August. "A cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene" as the New York Times obituary put it in 2011, this intrepid traveller published his experiences half a century later. Between the Woods and the Water covers the part of the epic journey on foot from the middle Danube to the Iron Gates. It has been a bestseller since it was first published in 1986. O'Sullivan reveals the identity of the interesting characters in the travelogue, interviewing several of their descendants and meticulously recreating Leigh Fermor's time spent among the Hungarian nobility. Leigh Fermor's recollections of his 1934 contacts are at once a proof of a lifelong attraction for the aristocracy, and a confirmation of his passionate love of history and understanding of the region. Rich with photos and other rare documents on places and persons both from the 1930s and today, the book offers a compelling social and political history of the period and the area. Described by Professor Norman Stone as "a major work of Hungarian social archaeology," this book provides a portrait of Hungary and Transylvania on the brink of momentous change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling family saga of five unforgettable women who remade Europe From the great courts, glittering palaces, and war-ravaged battlefields of the seventeenth century comes the story of four spirited sisters and their glamorous mother, Elizabeth Stuart, granddaughter of the martyred Mary, Queen of Scots. Upon her father's ascension to the illustrious throne of England, Elizabeth Stuart was suddenly thrust from the poverty of unruly Scotland into the fairy-tale existence of a princess of great wealth and splendor. When she was married at sixteen to a German count far below her rank, it was with the understanding that her father would help her husband achieve the kingship of Bohemia. The terrible betrayal of this commitment would ruin "the Winter Queen," as Elizabeth would forever be known, imperil the lives of those she loved, and launch a war that would last for thirty years. Forced into exile, the Winter Queen and her family found refuge in Holland, where the glorious art and culture of the Dutch Golden Age indelibly shaped her daughters' lives. Her eldest, Princess Elizabeth, became a scholar who earned the respect and friendship of the philosopher René Descartes. Louisa was a gifted painter whose engaging manner and appealing looks provoked heartache and scandal. Beautiful Henrietta Maria would be the only sister to marry into royalty, although at great cost. But it was the youngest, Sophia, a heroine in the tradition of a Jane Austen novel, whose ready wit and good-natured common sense masked immense strength of character, who fulfilled the promise of her great-grandmother Mary and reshaped the British monarchy, a legacy that endures to this day. Brilliantly researched and captivatingly written, filled with danger, treachery, and adventure but also love, courage, and humor, Daughters of the Winter Queen follows the lives of five remarkable women who, by refusing to surrender to adversity, changed the course of history.
