Amintiri din pribegie

Neagu Djuvara’s memoir traces a life shaped by war and exile. It follows his return home and years in Europe and Africa. His path takes in the Sorbonne, Niamey and Bucharest. He recalls Russia’s October Revolution and the last train to Helsinki. He caught that train. A posting sent him to Stockholm on 23 August 1944.

The book suits readers of memoir and history. Djuvara worked as a diplomat, spy, journalist and teacher. He also took part in politics. He studied history and the ideas that shape it. He knew both wealth and poverty, obscurity and fame. A new burst of creative work came after he turned eighty. He says luck helped him at key points in life.

Litera calls its edition an anniversary release. It has a new design and twice as many family photos. Humanitas includes the book in its Neagu Djuvara author series.
