An autobiographical novel

O metamorfoză a lumii și o meditație asupra schimbărilor

Tavi (14 years old) encounters a strange being in the endless plains of the Bărăgan. Each of them has an incredible story, and the two stories meet in a symbolic realm — that of mathematics.

Passion, music and crime, in the year of the Constitution, of the first Romanian film and of an enigmatic crime.

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

Occult cookbook, Phanariots, mystery. Bucharest, 1798.

A ghost, the ruins of a mill, communism, Chernobyl. No one can decide who is guilty and who is not.

Romanian village today, the secrets of a small community, one child against the world, one culprit, more stories.

An ordinary vampire...

Love, slavery, 18 Century, history. A tailor from Thessaloniki, is captivated by a song about Bucharest as a city of promise—especially since it was composed by the Sultan himself. He runs away from home with his family’s money, determined to build a free life: to create luxurious clothes and indulge in perfumes. After many misadventures and losses, he arrives in Bucharest, which turns out to be nothing like the song, but rather a multicultural city under Ottoman rule.

Love online, virus, grooming, crime, cyberspace.

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.

A forest with ghosts and enchanted grass. A strange creature.

Urban adventure, love, crime, strange happenings, surrealism, satire.

He loved. He was deceived. He wanted to get revenge. She has another version. One story, two confessions.
