'But what would we be today if the lives of those who gave us life were forever buried in oblivion?'
This is one of the questions included in the
preamble to 'Geniului no. 10' and which led me to Maria Arsene's exhortation:
'Remember that memory must be bequeathed.
Lest it die with you.
Remember this! Remember this!'
While reading 'Geniului no. 10', I was happy to
discover details about Bucharest that I didn't know and I saw streets and learned
about people who no longer exist today, I travelled through eras, fears, hopes
and desires for better. The life of each of us acquires a special value in the
eyes of those who have been touched by our gestures, words or smiles.
Playing the game of remembrance seems to me as
important as playing the game of gratitude. A beautiful encouragement for both
is this very book, 'Geniului no. 10'.
