The novel Bulgarian Nose by Doina Ruști continues the confession begun in Ferenike, a bestseller published by Humanitas.
An enveloping, cinematic, and richly layered saga, populated by fantastical characters, untamed spirits such as the zuli.

Adulterer, adopted children, mothers defects, hypocrisy of adoptions, love and despair, Bucharest today.

Zogru, the Romanian literary character by Doina Ruști - un unusual vampire, a Romanian Saint Germain
Hilarante por momentos, en otros trágica y feroz, a ratos fantástica y luminosa como una pintura de Chagall lo que prevalece en este maravilloso relato es la figura de la terribile soledad en que yace espíritu humano carente de amor.” (about the novel Zogru by Doina Ruști)
Pedro Gandolfo
Two students at the Faculty of Letters fall in love in a strange way, after coming into contact with some mystical beds. Behind this unusual occurrence lies a long line of stories from a world that can be both older or newer, palpable or subtle, but definitely rooted in today’s history.
Amazing is the fire of a row of stunts of pungent and fulminating expressions that the author devises to describe situations and moods of her protagonist.
La Stampa
A forest with ghosts and enchanted grass. A strange creature.
A debauch of the fabulous, in a book of damned passions and deadly charms.
Paul Cernat
Year 1790: love, slaves, Phanariots, and Wallachian boyars. The novel is built around a contract for the sale of a human being—a manuscript that gradually becomes a character in its own right, haunting the entire narrative. Leun (17), a tailor from Thessaloniki, is captivated by a song about Bucharest as a city of promise—especially since it is said to have been composed by the Sultan himself. He runs away from home with his family’s money, determined to make a free life for himself: to create luxurious garments and revel in the world of perfumes.
The Phanariot Manuscript is a sumptuous book, endowed with contagious sensuality.
Eugen Negrici
Urban adventure, love, crime, strange happenings, surrealism, satire.
Fast-paced, sinewy, with a thriller-like plot, countless surprises and out-of-the-ordinary events, the novel is a page-turner.
Luminița Corneanu
He loved. He was deceived. He wanted to get revenge. She has another version. One story, two confessions.
Doina wrote an admirable novel, from two confessions, as different, so related. A parable about East and West, about the extremes of Europe.
