Inscribed in the rich fantastical tradition of Romanian literature while communing with other traditions, this book uses fantasy to denounce, in a covert manner, the grotesqueness of existence within a totalitarian state. The four stories included belong as much to fantastical literature as they do to testimony writing, the narrative combining as it doesthe confessional tone of a realistic journal with incursions from a visionary imagination. Rediscovered in 1977 after having been rejected by Romanian censorship due to its antisocial tendencies, this was the first book of short stories written by prestigious Romanian author Ana Blandiana.Inscrito en la nutrida tradicion fantastica de la literatura de Romania a la vez que dialoga con otras tradiciones, este libro se sirve de lo fantastico para denunciar, de manera encubierta, la dimension grotesca de la existencia en un estado totalitario. Los cuatro relatos incluidos pertenecen tanto a la literatura fantastica como a la literatura de testimonio, pues la narrativa combina el tono confesional de un diario realista con las incursiones de una imaginacion visionaria. Aparecido en 1977 despues de ser rechazado por la censura rumana debido a sus tendencias antisociales, este fue el primer libro de relatos de la prestigiosa autora rumana Ana Blandiana.
