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. The stories of the various
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 novel covers the last 13 days of 1897 and culminates in
a beautiful tableau of the future as imagined by the different
characters. We might, in fact, say that it is we who inhabit their
future. And so too does Dan Cretu, 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, but one still very much alive in
our hearts.
