Check in: Timisoara | Marina Rasnoveanu

Check in: Timisoara (Romanian-English Version) este o colectie de poze-povestiri scurte inspirate de Timisoara, o colectie bilingva, de texte scrise in limba romana si in limba engleza. “Nu trebuie sa calatoresti in vreo destinatie exotica pentru a vedea cele mai frumoase rasarituri. Le poti gasi chiar la cativa metri de patul tau. Nu ai nevoie de nimic spectaculos sau cel putin nu spectaculosul in forma acceptata astazi pentru a fi fericit si a cuprinde mai bine lumea in care cineva, candva, a decis sa vii aici, pe Pamant. Textele de mai jos sunt diferite. Au in centru un detaliu din fotografie, un gest sau o poveste adevarata din spatele imaginii, un gand, o emotie, o amintire provocata de „ceva-ul” acelui moment. Voua ar putea sa va aduca altceva. Nici macar nu conteaza asta, atata timp cat da, va ofera ceva in schimb. – Marina Rasnoveanu, Autor Cartea Marinei este simpla, este sincera, este suflet deschis. Este modul in care a ales sa faca un compliment Timisoarei, orasul care vorbeste despre o amintire, despre iubire, despre pierdere si renastere, orasul care, pana la urma, ne ofera la fiecare pas o lectie. Iau cu mine din cartea Marinei: o glastra de flori te dezvata de tristete si te invata fericirea. Pentru cititori, cred ca este un bun prilej de a se opri o clipa din fuga vietii pentru a spune: Sunt Aici. Exist. Vad si Simt. Traiesc. – Iozefina Nicoleta Tudor, Jurnalist Check in: Timisoara, a Romanian-English book, is a collection of photos and short stories inspired by Timisoara. You don’t have to travel to exotic destinations just to see the most beautiful sunsets. You can find them just few meters away from your bed. There are signs everywhere. On the road, in the sky, on your mind. Just release them! Therefore, here is what I have seen with my eyes and heart in this city that, at some point, meant my salvation. The texts below are different. They have in centre a detail of the photo, a gesture, a true or an invented story, a feeling or just a memory. For you, it might bring up something else. It doesn’t matter, as long as it does give you something in return. – Marina Rasnoveanu, AuthorMarina’s book is simple, honest, is more like an “open minded soul”. It’s the way she has chosen to compliment Timisoara, the city which talks about a memory, about love, about losing and revival, the city that, at every turn, offers us a lesson. From Marina’s book, I take with me a sentence: A vase of flowers can unlearn you from sadness and can teach you happiness. For readers, I think this book is a good reason to stop for a while from this hustle and bustle and to say: “I am Here. I exist. I see and feel. I am alive. – Iozefina Nicoleta Tudor, Journalist
