Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume I, Dying to Get Rid of Communism is an interesting book inspired by the author’s biography and not invented. It brings to light a group of people less investigated by the Romanian literature. The author has a vigorous and harsh style of writing, according to the character who are not made of cardboard, but they are real flesh and blood.

I consider this novel, included into a trilogy, according to the author, to be well received by the public.

-Literary Critic Ioan Adam

Captain C is a rare sea writer, coming from a professional of the sea. The novel shapes the authentic feeling of the sea and an unmistakable human solidarity, revealed in its total plenitude and deepness, only in the conditions of a concrete travel by sea.

-Novelist Ovidiu Dunareanu
