Book Description
Based on the idea that there is a considerable difference between reality and discourse, the author points out that history is constantly reconstructed, adapted and sometimes mythicized from the perspectives of the present day, present states of mind and ideologies. He closely examines historical culture and conscience in nineteenth and twentieth century Romania, particularly concentrating on the impact of the national ideology on history. Boia's innovative analysis identifies several key mythical configurations and shows how Romanians have reconstituted their own highly ideologized history over the last two centuries. The strength of History and Myth in Romanian Consciousness lies in the author's ability to fully deconstruct the entire Romanian historiographic system and demonstrate the increasing acuteness of national problems in general, and in particular the exploitation of history to support national ideology.

Book Description
The volume provides a comprehensive, yet brief, analysis of the evolution of Romanian history and civilization from the first century BC to the present. Its principal attraction to readers is the conceptual and analytical approach designed to provide an intelligent, yet scholarly, overview of Romanian history, and a clear understanding of the problems facing the country, rooted in that history, in the post-communist period of transition of the 1990s and, most likely, also in the new millennium.

Book Description
Nicolae Iorga's A History of Romania: Land, People, Civilization is not a typical historical account of a nation's past, reciting dates, personalities, and events. Rather, it is an intimate portrait of a land and its people written by its greatest historian. Much like Herodotus in antiquity, Iorga can be considered "the father of history" for his country; the sheer volume and scope of his work make him among the most prolific historians in all of world history. Like a true artist, he paints a portrait of Romania, bringing to life the complex history of this fascinating land. Iorga skillfully weaves together history, art, architecture, language, literature, and culture to give the reader an understanding of the fabric of Romanian society. Originally published in 1925, Iorga's book was one of the earliest overviews of Romanian history printed in the English language. The author presents the history of the Romanian lands from ancient times until the end of World War I, when the great union of the Romanian lands was achieved and modern Romania came into existence. He reflects on the great personalities and events that shaped the nation, while at the same time examining the various threads that bind it together. This new edition of this classic work includes a list of rulers, a bibliography, an index and numerous illustrations. It is also accompanied by a foreword by David Prodan, another great personality of Romanian historiography, discussing Iorga's contributions to Romanian scholarship. Prodan fittingly pondered, when reflecting upon Iorga's life and work, "what amazes us above all is the vastness of Romanian history and culture and his understanding of its diversity and profoundness, his ever-present desire to study anything belonging to the Romanian people, and especially its vital foundation, the peasants, with their constant virtues." Nicolae Iorga's A History of Romania is essential reading for anyone interested in the story of this fascinating land.

Book Description
A number of scholars assess the role of the historian and the contributions of historiography in the interpretation of the major problems, most notably of nationalism, that have continued to create political and social conflict in Transylvania. The book addresses the fundamental issues related to cultural and political factors in the formation of ideologies and concepts that have inflamed public opinion and failed to reconcile the conflicting goals of the Romanian and Hungarian populations and governments in that troubled region of Eastern Europe.
