Dracula's Bloodline

A Florescu Family Saga

By: Radu R. Florescu,Matei Cazacu

This engrossing book tells the story of the Florescu family, from its feudal blood ties, to the notorious 15th century figure Vlad Tepes (Count Dracula), right up to present day, touching on such diverse personalities as the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jackson. In the tradition of Alex Haley’s Roots, Dracula’s Bloodline relates a multi-generational saga through the prism of one family’s narrative, from medieval Eastern Europe to the post-Communist era. The book provides an inside look at Romania’s bloody and turbulent history—a mostly untold narrative that embraces the cruel Ottoman invasions, vying boyars seeking to change the political order at home, and the toppling of the Ceausescu regime. The story of each century is told through the eyes of one Florescu (or more) who had a unique perch from which to view his or her contemporary society. Florescu and Cazacu drew on research that had mostly been kept in family hands. To track the Florescu footprint down through the centuries since the 1400s, they used many sources: the Brasov archives in Transylvania, select letters, unpublished diaries, and extensive family documents that have been scattered from Europe to the United States. This fully indexed book offers many photographs from family archives, as well as a glossary of terms and titles, and a full genealogy showing the Florescu’s family links to Vlad Tepes.

On Nonsymmetric Topological and Probabilistic Structures

By: Yeol Je Cho,Mariusz Grabiec,Viorel Radu

In this book, generally speaking, some properties of bitopological spaces generated by certain non-symmetric functions are studied. These functions, called "probabilistic quasi-pseudo-metrics" and "fuzzy quasi-pseudo-metrics", are generalisations of classical quasi-pseudo metrics. For the sake of completeness as well as for convenience and easy comparison, most of the introductory paragraphs are mainly devoted to fundamental notions and results from the classical -- deterministic or symmetric -- theory.

The Holocaust in Romania

The Destruction of Jews and Roma under the Antonescu Regime, 1940–1944

By: Radu Ioanid

In this book, Ioanid explores in great detail the physical destruction of Romania’s Jewish and Roma communities, including the pogroms of Bucharest and Iaşi as well as the deportations and the massacres from Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Transnistria. Based on thousands of archival documents and testimonies of survivors, The Holocaust in Romania sheds new light on Romania’s prefascist and fascist antisemitic legislation and its implementation. New chapters consider the forced labor of the Jews, persecution by the Protestant churches, and the decision-making process of the Antonescu government in its treatment of Jews and Roma. With this book, the Romanian Holocaust will no longer be forgotten.

The Struggle Against Russia in the Romanian Principalities

A Problem in Anglo-Turkish Diplomacy, 1821-1854

By: Radu R Florescu

The period leading up to the unification of the Romanian principalities is one of the most dynamic periods in modern Romanian history. It was a time of effervescence, which witnessed the birth of new ideas and the struggle between revolution and reaction. With the expansion of Russia in the Balkans, amidst the decline of the Ottoman Empire, the struggle against Russia in the Romanian principalities, supported by Anglo-Turkish diplomacy, took on international significance. Written by one of the leading specialists on Romanian history in the United States, The Struggle Against Russia in the Romanian Principalities is a significant contribution to nineteenth-century European diplomatic history. The author, Radu R. Florescu, was a professor of history at Boston College. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Christ Church, Oxford University in Great Britain, before moving to the United States where he completed his Ph.D. at Indiana University. Professor Florescu was a distinguished scholar and the author of numerous books and articles on Romanian and East European history.

Dracula, Prince of Many Faces

His Life and His Times

By: Raymond T. McNally,Radu R Florescu

Dracula, Prince of Many Faces reveals the extraordinary life and times of the infamous Vlad Dracula of Romania (1431 - 1476), nicknamed the Impaler. Dreaded by his enemies, emulated by later rulers like Ivan the Terrible, honored by his countrymen even today, Vlad Dracula was surely one of the most intriguing figures to have stalked the corridors of European and Asian capitals in the fifteenth century.

Frankenstein

By: Matei Cazacu,Radu Florescu

Frankenstein : la littérature lui a donné vie, le cinéma l’a pourvu d’un visage. Personnage éponyme du roman de Mary Shelley paru en 1818, il est entré dans l’imaginaire collectif où se confondent parfois créateur et créature. L’histoire de ce mythe devenu aussi effrayant qu’incontournable demeure pourtant méconnue. Villa Diodati, Cologny, 1816. Il était une fois un poète qui, lors d’une nuit sombre et pluvieuse sur les rives du Lac Léman, met au défi ses hôtes d’écrire la meilleure et la plus abominable histoire de fantôme. Ce poète n’est autre que Lord Byron, et parmi ses amis Mary Shelley. Pour bâtir son récit, la jeune femme puise dans la vie de Johann Conrad Dippel, un alchimiste et théologien allemand qui exerçait la médecine de manière excentrique. La rumeur court que l’homme, demeurant dans le château de Frankenstein, pratiquait autopsies et expériences médicales en tout genre : l’histoire peut commencer. Réalité et fiction s’unissent pour donner vie à Victor Frankenstein ! Dans un récit savamment orchestré, Matei Cazacu et Radu Florescu reviennent sur ce mythe ô combien célèbre et tentent de démêler le vrai du faux en perçant le mystère des origines du monstre.
