Ianoi e viu, atent i emoionat de orice problem de parc acum abia ar ntra, aplecndu-se uor, sub naltul portic al Cunoaterii. Curios, profesnd acea dubl curiozitate, rar azi – fa de problem, dar i fa de cel ce o ridic. Fa de Fiin. Cultura romn se poate felicita, n zilele i anii notri un pic buimaci, unde Nordul valorilor pare a se fi rtcit undeva, n alte secole sau pe alte continente, c posed un cercettor, un profesor i un ins capabil de o asemenea cuprindere a unor platforme culturale att de auguste i, aparent, contradictorii. Unul din puinii supravieuitori ai acelei Mitteleuropa sapieniale, acei ndrgostii fr pricin de misterele artei i ale gndului, unul dintre acei, rari azi i n Europa, ce pesc uor peste granie istorice i mentale, rigide pentru atia, cu o graie, cu o uurin ce ne poate nela asupra acelui depozit afund de suferin i travaliu, de tenacitate unic pe care numai prezena unui ideal poate s-o explice. Iat unde putem gsi Idealul su Modelul, dezorientai nu rareori de propriile noastre ezitri i eecuri.“ (Nicolae Breban)Ianoi este un om pentru care problema morala exist, iar faptul acesta l aaz ntr-o postur extrem de fecund i de necesar, de mediator. ntr-o lume care devine tot mai conflictual, uneori n mod stupid, cu totul superficial i aberant. Ion Ianoi cred ca ne d o lecie de economie de conflict. Vd n aceast lecie i n persoana lui un model de senintate, de sinceritate intelectual, de europenitate.“ (Mircea Martin)[...] stilul Ianoi; un stil unic n cultura romn. Nu e vorba, n cazul d-sale, de cri de erudiie pedant, seac, ci de cri scrise cu un mare talent literar, cred eu, i cu extraordinare capaciti de evocare.“ (Gabriel Dimisianu)Am spus i cu alte prilejuri, am scris i cu alte ocazii c Ion Ianoi este un dar fcut literaturii romne. Oare avem puterea de a ne bucura de acest dar Avem fora de a-l onora i de a ne minuna de el, aa cum se cuvine Printre scriitorii romni, prietenul nostru e perceput drept un crturar evreu-maghiar atipic. Printre evrei e tratat drept un romn sadea. n Ianoi vd un model de prim rang, un mare crturar ce s-a nzidit n literatura romn, un scriitor care ar face onoare oricrei culturi majore a lumii. Ianoi este, apoi, un spectacol, n pofida felului su de a fi, aproape n ciuda sa...“ (Aura Christi)

In the South Seas
￥40.79
For nearly ten years my health had been declining; and for some while before I set forth upon my voyage, I believed I was come to the afterpiece of life, and had only the nurse and undertaker to expect. It was suggested that I should try the South Seas; and I was not unwilling to visit like a ghost, and be carried like a bale, among scenes that had attracted me in youth and health. I chartered accordingly Dr. Merrit’s schooner yacht, the Casco, seventy-four tons register; sailed from San Francisco towards the end of June 1888, visited the eastern islands, and was left early the next year at Honolulu.
