Primaria Municipiului Brasov

Show me in all our country a
more patriotic town than Brasov.
MIHAIEMINESCU
Brasov with its medieval
nature also meant for us the place
where Romanian culture had its
beginnings.
TUDOR ARGHEZI
Montrez-moi chez nous une
ville patriotique comme Brasov.
MIHAI EMINESCU
Brasov, avec son expression
medievale, a ete pour nous le lieu
aussi d'un commencement de
culture roumaine.
TUDOR ARGHEZI
Zeigen Sie mir bei uns eine so
vaterlandsliebende Stadt wie
Kronstadt.
MIHAI EMINESCU
K r o n s t a d t mit ihrem
mittelalterlichen Aussehen war fur
uns auch der Ort eines Aufbruchs von
rumanischer Kultur.

FOREWORD

We gladly welcome this literary attempt.

I think this comes as a first

in what the

anthologies of any kind are concerned, because

"Brasov in 100 poems" certainly stands as
a unique book, at least for the

Romanian

culture.
Without any doubt, the conception of this
book is the result of the love for this town and
for poetry. Following a long historical path, the
anthology gathers 81 poets who dipped their
pen in their love for Brasov.
100 poems inspired by the town at the
feet of Tampa is a manifest both for the old
burg and for the one today.
