In a world which needs to embrace more from the ineffable principles of the universe, it is such a blessing to discover the beauty and greatness of a soul which reveals itself in all its fundamental genuineness!

Personally, I think "Out of the Transylvania Night" is a precious treasure full of sensitivity and spirituality, a treasure which comes out to the light with an overflowing Romanian conscience of courage, freedom, truth, love, and giving.

I read this book being totally immersed and overwhelmed by full-of-life memories, memories from my past as well...My mind, heart, and soul reunited in joy, sadness, revolt, relief and especially in a vital need for ascending beyond all what made us the slaves of a Romanian communist nightmare starting from those still unborn and ending with the oldest, the most hurt, and those who lack hope.

And then, learning about the life's dear secrets of Aura Imbarus, I felt such a very strange and strong "deja-vu" feeling in my own universe, enjoying and crying, reviving and raising with each emotion and feeling of hers, rediscovering myself, finding her and admiring her!

What more can I say? Well, there are so much to be said and yet I feel that if I think I said everything, there, in the dense shadow, much more will still remain to be confessed...

All Romanians from everywhere, (and not only Romanians!), please receive as a special gift such a beautiful genuineness of a naked soul which was already given to us, a dare to hope that each will find a way to fly so close to Aura and to the eternal Phoenix bird which undoubtedly put her essence inside of each of us; and let's enjoy, unchain ourselves, and especially fulfill and elevate ourselves so far away as this can be possible for each of us!

In total admiration for the courage and genuineness of Aura,
