PALM BEACH, Fla. - Floridant -- Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Pirin Planina: Tragic and Comic Episodes from Captivity, by George Topîrceanu. The book is published by the Center for Romanian Studies, an independent academic research institute, based in the United States, whose mission is to promote knowledge and understanding of Romanian history and culture worldwide. Titles from the Center for Romanian Studies are published exclusively by Histria Books.
In Pirin Planina: Tragic and Comic Episodes from Captivity, Romanian poet and writer George Topîrceanu (1886-1937) describes his experiences as a soldier during World War I. Despite his bleak surroundings and vivid descriptions of death and tragedy that he witnessed, Topîrceanu managed to find humor in the most unusual circumstances, making Pirin Planina a truly unique account of the War. His experiences will leave the reader perplexed.
While fighting in the battle of Turtucaia in September 1916, Topîrceanu fell captive to the Bulgarian army. After a series of adventures, he ended up in a prison camp at the base of the Pirin Mountains. There, he fought for survival in one of the harshest environments imaginable. But the hardships he faced within the camp could not stifle the satirical spirit for which he is famous in Romanian literature. Topîrceanu's unique blend of drama, tragedy, and humor will immerse the reader into the world of a soldier during World War I.
