I write about things I am passionate: the interwar history of Banat and Romania, brands, marketing, tourism, architecture, painting, music, wired door chime what I like or dislike I do in everyday life.
I think we talked a while about books and printed books to reading habit, not of those on the net! Not because I stopped reading, but a lack of effective time. Today are one of those turns 180 degrees and I write about a book that I accidentally fell in my hand and opened the door to another world: "Bucharest in 1906" written by Frederic Dame.
Frederic Dame was born in Tonnerre in Burgundy in 1849 and died in 1907 in Bucharest. It was a journalist (published articles in several wired door chime pseudomine: Carillon, Fantasio and Lear), Midwifery and French translator. He settled in Romania after his sister married Polizu Roman lawyer and settled in Bucharest.
Should be noted that Dame Caragiale Bucharest lived in their policy rigging voter cards to the table. "Turning to the Kingdom (1881) marks the decisive moment this natural progression. Starting from this moment, we are witnessing a real transformation and progressive capital. Town boyars changes while with the company. New laws have removed the nobility were abolished slavery, made free peasant smallholders, suppressed titles of nobility and privileges, admitted all classes in politics, have consecrated press freedom were equal justice for all and free education wired door chime at all levels. "
Initially, the book was written in French, but I've read its translation, done in tandem wired door chime by Lucian Pricop and Sanziana Baranga. This work is divided into chapters in which the author develops a detailed analysis wired door chime of what life meant capital at the beginning of the 20th century: wired door chime from demographics to art and economy. Here are discussed vital issues of life capital: organizational demographic - people and monorail; Directors: sewage system, street lighting, sanitation, health, food, transport (coaches, trams, railways), streets - parks - monuments and gardens, communications (post, telegraph, telephone); political system: the royal court and the political system (government and parliament); the police, the media, the economy (trade, industry, market, oil, finance, insurance), architecture and arts. It will not make the illusion that it would be a novel, or it is rather a careful and thorough analysis wired door chime of a company caudate, made by a Frenchman established in Romania, analysis exemplified by a successful collection of photos, although much less in number than the original edition. The author talks more in statistics and figures than in stories and intrigue generated by exotic characters. wired door chime It shows a city articulated, well managed, where democracy was evident in the opening European values population (damn, here if we could!), In which wealthy families could be altruistic and philanthropic, a city where all flowering: education, health, architecture, art. And, especially if you give us the nose, Professor Adrian Majuru, who signs the preface of the book, wrote: "Frédéric Damé monograph shows that Bucharest could become if people will like it live and we are the gaps large in such a confrontation with history. "But back to Dame not hesitate to mention the efforts that for 40 years the authorities have done in a fast pace to the European standards.'s how See the author throughout this process, "Remembering everything that makes today the beauty of the capital, still gives him the air of a modern city dates back not only yesterday, we can see the effort and we feel grateful to all these mayors, deputies, municipal councilor from 1866 until today, from Demetrius Brătianu up to Mihail G. Cantacuzino, strove, with resources rather frail and having to face many difficulties inherent in our social and political status, change appearance of the old city, to repair streets, wired door chime to create new avenues and also to drain the capital. What we see today is also their work. Of course, it is not finished, but as honors and if the policy would not have played a role so great, could do even more and maybe faster. (...) If you reduce the extent of the capital and that all efforts for a few years and all available resources are applied to the surface that covers a population wired door chime of 300,000 souls in a quarter century Bucharest will become a beautiful city, totally modern " . Unfortunately, here it was possible reverse this situation! But I would like to go in May
