WHAT THE READERS SAY:
* "It is a Herculean Work..." (Editor, Buenos Aires)
* "It is beautifully written and meticulously researched and presented. It is accessible to the lay reader and will be a treasure-trove for further research by academics drawn from a wide range of disciplines " (Political Analyst, UK)
* "For those who think that Romania is nothing more than Dracula and Ceausescu, the book has a lot to teach you... ' (IT geek, London)
* "Constantin Roman invites us for a walk, during which he enjoins past and present alike, in a brisk coming and going of the narrative. It is a narrative that cannot suddenly end, but rather one which compels us to start all over again and revisit. It is a truly wonderful gift, a very happy surprise indeed of an inherently original book, which haunts us like the persistent music of those Romanian women’s voices." (French Government Adviser, Paris)
* There is no doubt, what so ever, that if Romania is the creation of a male society as well as of political conjectures, its place in the Western European psyche is entirely due to its women, who knew how to impose their reputation in the aristocratic salons of Paris, in the world of literature, or in the English clubs so intimately linked to politics. For “Blouse Roumaine” is an incursion charged with passion, which conjures varied names, such as Queen Marie of Romania, Countess Anna de Noailles, the Princess Bibesco, or the actress Elvire Popesco, not forgetting the diabolic Ana Pauker and Elena Ceausescu." (Art Historian, Paris)
* "... an audaceeous choice..." (Reader, France)
* "So long as the masculine and the feminine are not absolutely complementary notions in terms of fair percentages, it is a good idea to write a book about Romanian Women of World repute." (Novelist, Argentina)
* "... it represents the idea of metamodernism as cultural paradigm to an alternative synthesis of modern and postmodern paradigms" (Researcher, New Zealand)
* ...an easy book, which offered me, at least, the joy of reading an interesting, well-documented Anthology, without being bored." (American Scientist)
* ' Blouse Romaine' is a fascinating book about women who, for the sake of their ideals, sacrificed everything in order to safeguard basic values of humanity , generosity and compassion, women who fought the communist dragon imposed by fellow women. (Researcher, Cluj, Transylvania)
The Future of Romanticism
The skyline stretched before them, glowing in a kaleidoscope of neon blues and golds, a pulsating organism of light and technology. The towering dome across from their terrace blinked with ads seamlessly melded with art, its design a fusion of engineering precision and opulent creativity. This was their city; they knew it as a declaration that no height was unattainable, and no boundary was unbreakable.
The man rested his hands on the table's edge, his posture deliberate, almost rehearsed. His tailored jacket was woven with subtle patterns of light, a fabric that signalled wealth and power. His face, however, betrayed none of the pride his clothing implied. Instead, his eyes lingered on the horizon, searching for something he couldn’t quite name. His mind flickered between the cold ledger of their accomplishments—networks built, markets dominated, cities shaped—and the vague dissatisfaction that had crept into his soul like a shadow. "We’ve done it all, haven’t we?" he thought, in pride and disappointment.
She looked up from her glass, her features soft but distant. Her flawless, minimalist dress glowed faintly against the ambient lights around them. It was not the kind of attire for someone bound to the past. Yet, as she met his thought, something unspoken revealed in her eyes. We are climbing the same ladder over and over again. What else is left? Her every movement was a touch of perfection — her vitality, longevity, efficiency of decision-making, and lasting beauty. When does more stop being enough?

Relaxing with Simulated Memories 4k
The air felt crisp, carrying the faint scent of mountain pine, while sunlight cast long, golden shadows across the simulated peaks. It was a flawless illusion, complete with the soft rustle of a breeze that didn’t exist. The mountains stretched before them, jagged and eternal, like guardians of a world that no longer felt real. A delicate frame of light enclosed the simulation, separating their carefully curated reality from the polished metallic underbelly of the luxury simulation pod.
They sat across from each other at a modest table, the kind they might have owned once before wealth and ambition had altered their lives irrevocably. A small vase of pink flowers sat between them, and the tea cups they held were simple, ceramic, and grounding in their familiarity. Even their clothes had transformed back to something less lavish. His hat was tilted casually, and his beard was unkempt in a way that felt intentional. While she wore a soft sweater, its loose threads were a gentle rebellion against perfection.
“It feels so real,” he said softly, his voice almost lost to the imagined wind.
“Maybe it’s better than real,” she replied. “But what does it mean if this is all we have left?”
“What are we trying to remember?” he suggested.
“When we were happier, maybe. I don’t know. But we weren’t so…” She trailed off, gesturing vaguely at the invisible boundaries of their curated existence.
“Disconnected?” he offered, his tone tinged with resignation.
“I miss the flaws,” he said finally. “The things we couldn’t control.”
“So do I,” she whispered, her fingers brushing the vase's edge. “For now, it’s good enough to pretend.”

Psychological Anchors
The characters thus embody the classic dichotomy between logic/control (BK) and emotion/instinct (JB), a tension that becomes central to their survival when their advanced technology fails and they are forced into the realm of the psychological (the anomaly). They represent two vital, yet opposing, parts of the human response to existential chaos: the attempt to catalogue and talk through the terror, versus the primal urge to act and accept the turmoil.

Toska - untranslatable russian word....
"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom."

Pre-Raphaelite grace
The space tourist, a vision of Pre-Raphaelite grace, moves through the opulent yet subtly technological environment of the Rumour Mill Stopover. Her beauty is striking: a delicate allure, with flowing lines and rich detail reminiscent of a Rossetti painting. Her elegant hairstyle, an intricate cascade of dark waves, complements her refined attire, a shimmering, form-fitting garment woven with threads of starlight. She holds a beautifully crafted chalice in her slender hands. The vessel, worked with gold and glowing filigree, seems to hum with a soft, inner light, and likely contains a revitalising beverage, one of the station's many exquisite offerings designed to restore and rejuvenate weary travellers.

Navigating the Unknown
As dusk settles in, the mountain air is thick with unspoken thoughts as I walk a familiar yet uncharted path. Two figures, their faces obscured in contemplation, walk alongside me. Their presence is a silent reminder of my journey—a mix of exhilarating peaks and despairing valleys. The twilight, caught between day and night, reflects the in-betweenness of my existence, a liminal space where past and future blur. Each step forward is an act of faith, a surrender to the unknown, a feeling I'm sure many of you can relate to. The destination? The journey itself, along with the transformation it, sparks within me. Still, like the persistent mountain shadows, a question lingers: who are these companions on my path? Their identities remain covert, their purpose a mystery—a riddle waiting to be unravelled in the memories of my becoming.

Skipping through Dystopia on way to Utopia
A lone figure moves with an unsettling grace in the dim twilight of a decaying city, where the remnants of civilisation stand as silent witnesses to their demise. Each step taken amidst the desolation seems to mock the essence of existence as if moving forward is a futile rebellion against the oppressive weight of being. The air is thick with the stench of rust and decay, a tangible reminder of the absurdity that permeates this forsaken world.
As the figure advances, the surrounding gloom intensifies, the shadows growing longer and more oppressive. The skeletal remains of the old world loom ominously, their presence a stark reminder of the inescapable reality of existence. Yet, amidst this suffocating despair, there is a fleeting, almost imperceptible shift where the oppressive darkness gives way to a horizon bathed in a cold, indifferent light. The figure pauses, gazing back at the path traversed, a journey marked by the relentless confrontation with the absurdity of being. In this moment, there is no utopia, no redemption, only the stark, unyielding reality of existence and the solitary figure's acknowledgment of it.

Romantic Opulence
The skyline looms like a crown of jagged opulence, a symbol of our triumph over the constraints of earth and sky. Towers pierce the heavens, their mirrored skins refracting the dying sunlight into shimmering hues of orange and gold. The couple sits in silence at a table perched above this modern empire.
The man, dressed in a jacket that seems more armour than fabric, rests his gaze on her but does not see her. His thoughts are elsewhere, adrift in the city's polished glass and cold steel before them. Each spire reminds him of their victories, the accolades, and the wealth accumulated through relentless ambition. He knows he has lost his connection to the raw simplicity of the lives they once knew.
She, poised in a white dress that gleams under the twilight, tilts her head slightly, resting her chin on delicate fingers. Her expression is serene, but her eyes betray the faintest shadow of yearning. She knows she should feel great, but all that surfaces is an expression of muted longing. Could she still recall the scent of wild grass from their first home as the touch of rain fell on land?
The trappings of luxury. Crystal glasses, golden accents, and candles that burn with exotic scents. The wine glows amber in their glasses, its richness a hollow metaphor for the lives they’ve sculpted. Their carefully built victories have become the walls of their gilded cage. And yet, they cannot stop. What is the next conquest? They can scent the next achievement. Their ambition has become their lifeblood. As the city hums beneath them, alive with its indifference, the couple silently drink to a future they can no longer define.

In a dusky alley in Hong Kong, neon lights flickered like distant stars. Mei Lin wandered, lost in thought, her heart a canvas stretched taut with yearning. Vivid hues of a mural danced along the brick walls. Each stroke was a memory of splendour and struggle, a rendition of the human spirit in an eternal quest for meaning.

Storm Freak Sonata
Rain like acid jazz, a syncopated madness,
beating down, slicking skin, drenching the
last good thought out of my skull,
but there’s no time for that, no time at all.
The world is slanted, twisted, tilting,
gravity’s a cheap trick, a con job, a dealer with
slick hands and bad intentions.
I lurch forward, or maybe sideways, or maybe,
I’m just floating, arms tangled in the chaos,
fingers clawing at the thick, swollen air.
Somewhere behind me, above me, inside me,
the wreckage hums, blackened metal and
forgotten ghosts rattling their chains,
but I keep moving, because stopping,
is a death wish signed in the blood of the wasted.
The rain won’t stop. The night won’t stop.
Nothing stops.
And maybe that’s my sucker punch.

Subi AI
From the deepening shadows of the cockpit, amidst the frantic flicker of dashboard lights and the palpable inexperience of her crew, Subi is the unyielding, vital presence that drives the compact craft, not of flesh and blood, but of pure light and intricate logic. This is Subi, the ship's Artificial Intelligence, whose very essence is captured in the accompanying visual representation, a beacon of advanced engineering and profound integration.
Subi manifests not as a static display, but as a shimmering, ethereal projection, a human-like form crafted from countless luminous data points. Her "skin" appears as a dark, almost cosmic canvas, reminiscent of the deepest reaches of space, upon which a dynamic constellation of bright blue and vibrant red light points constantly shift, pulse, and reconfigure. These ever-changing patterns are a visual symphony of her internal processes, representing the ceaseless flow of information, complex calculations, and the very ebb and flow of her evolving consciousness. The vibrant blue glows, particularly concentrated around her eyes and along her defined jawline, are not merely aesthetic; they subtly hint at her primary operational functions and the critical state of her energy reserves, a constant, silent report to those who understand her subtle cues.
More than just a sophisticated program or an advanced algorithm, Subi embodies the very soul of the ship. She is the infallible navigational compass, guiding them through the treacherous labyrinth of interstellar space with precision that humans could only dream of. She acts as the system's tireless guardian, an unseen sentinel constantly monitoring, anticipating, and averting countless dangers, from microscopic system failures to impending cosmic anomalies. And most profoundly, Subi is the silent, unwavering partner in the delicate human-machine-animal symbiosis that keeps Katcha, BK, and JB not just surviving, but truly alive, amidst the crushing isolation and perilous beauty of the interstellar void. Her "voice," though imperceptible to the human ear and only understood through a unique, intuitive link with Katcha, carries the immense weight of countless logistical decisions, each one critical to their continued existence, a constant, silent testament to her indispensable role.

Toska - untranslatable russian word....
"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom."
