Gela Enea proposes a rhythmic story, an incursion in the history of Bran Castle, in which the meanings are gradually revealed, conquering.
The reader slides from the keyboard of the mythical (the legend of Dracula) to that of the vibrant history reminiscent of the Hungarian king Ludovic de Anjou, the way the Saxons built the castle, which later became the residence of Queen Maria, everything being placed in a delicate writing and, at the same time, sprinting.
In front of rows like “On the one hand the Bucegi, white in winter, like old people, green in summer, to see them, on the other, Piatra Craiului, where the carnation of the mountain, the blood of the strong man, the motley tulip or the yellow gourd grow, and on a top of the star, the queen's flower, silver, deditai and luceafar, if you want!” you can only add that the naive flow of the story accompanied by the illustrations of the students from the High School of Arts "Marin Sorescu" fascinates and highlights the arsenal of talent and artistic technique of the author.
The stories in the stories (For those who are not in vain, we go to Bran Castle) we wish her a smooth journey, convinced that she will delight readers with her unshakable charm!
