Dear Berti,

Thank you for your kind appreciation, but, no - sorry for confusion - it wa=
s not my late father Julius Hauster, who created this amazing book. The aut=
hor remains anonymous, however some sources from the Internet suggest the l=
ate Romanian journalist and writer Radu Anton Roman:

https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radu_Anton_Roman

No doubt about, this is an outstanding opus, both from the literary and pho=
tographic point of view, and, although I'm born and spent my childhood in R=
omania, it's by far beyond my Romanian laguage skills. With your message yo=
u are very much in line with some other members of our List, who commented =
in deep admiration too.

Warmest wishes!

Edgar Hauster

Hello Edgar,
I was amazed at the richness of information in those pages. We have gone,
Stefi and me not only through the pictures but have studied the text too.
I was not surprised to find some unknown words used locally only, or even
forms of speech new to me. Rumanian was and is still only my second
language,
one I can communicate orally and in writing like in German. But here is a
text so rich and diversified that even my better pard, nee in Bukarest had
something to learn,
or at least to make an effort to remember. And I am not sure how to
interpret the phrase your father uses at the end of the introduction:
  "Fanteziile ce urmeaz=C4=83 sunt o joac=C4=83. Ora=C8=99ul po=
vestit pe s=
=C4=83rite =C8=99i buimac
ba de mine, ba de cine cred eu c-au fost Ghi=C8=9B=C4=83 =C8=9A=
irc=C4=83d=
=C4=83u,
Titu Herdelea, Lache, Indolenta, elevul Dima, Vica =C8=9Biganca, Ric==
C4=83,=
 fante de
Obor sau publicist... "
Are they all virtual or is there a hint to the origins of the photos or
some text?
As to the time when this was created, late 40th or the 50th?
I remain deeply impressed. Berti.
