„Bucur?-te de fiecare clip? tr?it?!“ „Principala mea preocupare în via?? a fost s? mi cultiv pl?cerile sim?urilor. Sim?indu-m? n?scut pentru sexul opus, l-am iubit întotdeauna ?i m-am l?sat iubit de el. Mi-a pl?cut la nebunie savoarea meselor bune ?i m-a pasionat tot ceea ce era menit s?-mi incite curiozitatea.“ – Casanova Casanova (n. 1725, Vene?ia), „scandalosul ?i insolitul vene?ian, nu a fost doar ceea ce s-a crezut: un aventurier, escroc ?i libertin. Ci ?i poetul, memorialistul, filosoful, muzicianul ale c?rui Memorii au fost considerate «adev?rata Enciclopedie a secolului al XVIII lea».“ – Blaise Cendrars „Pu?ine persoane îi pot egala cunoa?terea, inteligen?a ?i imagina?ia.“ – Lamberg ?Via?a monden? ?i amoroas? a lui Casanova a fost consemnat? f?r? pudoare în miile de pagini ale Memoriilor sale, intitulate ?i Povestea vie?ii mele, autobiografie lipsit? de complezen??, care traverseaz? Secolul Luminilor. Scris? extrem de savuros, cartea – din care edi?ia de fa?? ofer? o bogat? selec?ie – este considerat? o capodoper? a literaturii, prin picanteria detaliilor, amploarea moravurilor descrise ?i erudi?ia autorului.

Din nord, dup? o experien?? de dasc?l la ?coala din Ieud, Ioan Es. Pop a naufragiat prin ’88, ?n Capital? ca muncitor pe un ?antier, mai apoi, dup? ’89, ca redactor la Luceaf?rul, izbutind s?-?i transforme naufragiul ?n descoperire esen?ial?, precum eroul lui Defoe. Cu migal?, cu entuziasm, cu r?bdare, cu Vineri, Robinson a f?cut din naufragiul s?u o terapeutic? a oric?rei alien?ri, inclusiv a celei de sine ?nsu?i. Cu talent, cu intui?ie, cu imagina?ie, cu nou?zeci?tii, Ioan Es. Pop ?i-a convertit naufragiul ?ntr-o splendid? revocare dramatic-liric? a neantului zilnic, cum numai poe?ilor de tot li se poate ?nt?mpla. Ieudul f?r? ie?ire este expresia plin? de prospe?ime poetic? a cestei convertiri. Lauren?iu Ulici
