“Book Descriptions: "Refuges" has a sensational beginning: a young woman wakes up and finds herself in an unknown place to discover, after some time, that the unknown place is a psychiatric hospital.
The book is a long confession in a narrative style we have got to know from Buzura's previous novels: the story of a broken existence and the analysis (self-analysis) of defeat. The analysis also draws in other facts and engages a great number of destinies regarded from a mainly sociologic perspective.
Buzura is a tough and lucid realist, stubbornly following the line of an idea to the end... Actually, the novel speaks of loneliness and fear, of power and humiliation, of revolt and cowardice... In his own literary formula Buzura wrote a hard and profound book on the relationship between the individual and the hidden mechanisms of history.
This translation is based on the first edition of the novel published by Editura Cartea Romaneasca, Bucharest, 1984.” DRIVE
