“The Boat with Butterflies” – Cristian Melesteu’s recent volume – opens the doors to a little-known literary style: each chapter can be seen as a standalone short story, even if together they constitute a novel. Gathered under the symbol of the butterfly, the 24 chapters allow us to fly with our thoughts, wherever we want, deliberately mixing classical percepts, in order to test our vigilance. Everything seems to be “an illusion” that crosses the poetic “chaotic blue” of the sky and the waters... Beyond the illusion, the unique fishing stories and the image of the Danube Delta rise, proudly, on whose surface the author leaves the skillful traces of his own pen.

Amalia Elena Constantinescu

“The Boat with Butterflies” is a novel that is a poem of becoming. The characters, the action, the narrative, as a whole, everything is dressed in the garment of transcendence towards what represents the oneiric space of dreaming and of entering the Orphic world of the vision of the new Heaven. The act of fishing is a change of the poles of reference of living in which the spaces change their meanings. This carousel of play is the key to deciphering this new novel by Cristian Meleșteu, which provokes, incites and guides us on a path of personal rediscovery.
The letters become signs of the encryption of a new covenant. Everything opens in notes of knowledge and passage beyond, towards that space of the unknown in which the desire for eternal rebirth is rooted.
