Books by Lucian Boia

Taken from the precept that there is considerable difference between real and discourse history, Boia argues that the last two centuries of Romanian history have been reconstructed and even mythified from the perspective of the present day.

Romania occupies a unique position on the map of Eastern Europe. It is a country that presents many paradoxes. This book examines this land's development from the Middle Ages to modern times, delineating its culture, history, language, politics and ethnic identity.
