The Royal Family of Romania was celebrated on the first day of the Gaudeamus Book Fair, on Wednesday, with a triple book release dedicated to Romanian monarchy. The event concluded with Prince Radu signing autographs.
The Curtea Veche Publishing House presented the volumes titled "Queen Anne . At Home Forever", coordinated by Alexandru Muraru, "Mihai I of Romania" - a volume for young people, signed by Adrian Cioroianu and Mihaela Simina and the Royal Calendar 2017 - a collection of photos that depict King Mihai in several periods of his life.
Director General of the Curtea Veche Publishing House Iren Arsene spoke about each editorial entry dedicated to the Royal Family and underlined, focusing on the "Queen Anne. At Home Forever" volume, that this book gathered over 40 authors, through that "powerful emotion" from the beginning of August, when the death of the Queen was announced. "Back then, on all television channels, we couldn't hear all the voices that were paying tribute to our Queen, who didn't reign, but influenced very much the society as if she would have ruled," Iren Arsene added.
The volume titled "Queen Anne. At Home Forever" has been edited with the support of agerpres. and contains photos from the archive of the National News Agency.
"This book is a gift that, in a certain way, we make to Her Majesty (...) and the book actually tells 46 stories. A number of 46 historians, political scientists, professors, men of letters, theater critics, writers, even magistrates, each one of them have written down a text about Her Majesty Queen Anne. The texts weren't announced, or programmed before, they were written in those days, after 1 August, after the Queen passed away, and they all talk about this personality who was so overwhelming," volume editor Alexandru Muraru stated.
Professor Nicolae Dragusin spoke about the book titled "Mihai I of Romania", which is dedicated to young people. "We are dealing with an illustration of dynamics and stability," he stated.
