A young man is found lying unconscious on the outskirts of Bucharest. No one knows who he is and everyone has a different theory about how he got there. Within the pages of this charming book, the stories of a variety of characters unfold, each closely interwoven with the next, and outlining the features of what ultimately turns out to be the most important and most powerful character of all: the city of Bucharest itself. The plot of Life Begins on Friday takes place during the last 13 days of 1897 and culminates in a beautiful tableau of the future as imagined by the characters we have come to know and love. We might even say that it is we who inhabit their future, and so too does Dan Creţu, alias Dan Kretzu, the present-day journalist hurled back in time by some mysterious process for just long enough to allow us a wonderful glimpse into a remote, almost forgotten world.Parvulescus' book is a magical tale full of enchanting characters who can carry the reader to another time....

An omen that changes people, a story about how good and evil can happen at once, about the simple ones, who don't distinguish right from left, and about the complicated ones, who think they are God's chosen. This is a novel about fathers and clever daughters, who don’t not let the story die. A book where love comes uninvited, as it always has done, full of suspense, and our undying desire to find purpose in this life. Drawing on the Biblical story of Jonah, the author brings to life a whole village of characters as well as the monsters of the deep.

En la imaginación de la pequeña Ana, la casa de la antigua calle de San Juan en la ciudad transilvana de Kronstadt tiene rostro, pensamientos y sentimientos. Ha sobrevivido heroicamente a dos terremotos, dos guerras mundiales y un ataque con bomba, mientras que sus «parientes» de enfrente tuvieron que dejar paso a un hotel de gran altura.Ioana Pârvulescu, originaria de esta misma ciudad, cuenta en su novela la historia de los habitantes de esta casa a lo largo de varias generaciones y de nacionalidades cambiantes. Este es un relato luminoso de un período sombrío, el siglo XX, en el que la familia y la ciudad sobrevivieron primero al régimen fascista pronazi y más tarde a la despiadada dictadura comunista de Ceauçescu.Escrita con una elegancia casi epistolar, llena de nostalgia, poesía y humor, y poblada de personajes memorables, la novela de Ioana Pârvulescu es un canto a la vida y a la memoria, porque «el pasado debe permanecer, en nuestras vidas, tan lleno de posibilidades como el futuro».
