Wonder Time  tells the story of growing up in dictatorial Romania – of confinement and fear, but also of longing, love, and the dream of freedom. With wit and melancholy, Cătălin Dorian Florescu, in his debut novel, describes everyday life amidst hardship and hope – always against the backdrop of his planned escape from the dictatorship. Years later, Alin lives in Switzerland and reflects on his past. Arriving in a new country becomes the central moment of his memories: freedom means security, but also alienation, language barriers, and life with a migration background. The text reminds us how fragile freedom is – and how profoundly origin and memory shape life in the present.

“Words of hate pay for words of hate. Blood is paid for with blood.” Aeschylus’ Oresteia tells of the devastating consequences of war, of the eternal spiral of violence and revenge. And finally, of the birth of democracy, a “statute that shall be valid for all time.”
