  Americanah by Chimamanda Adichie is ranked 436 th on The Greatest Books of All Time site; in 2024, it was ranked 27th in The New York Times' list of 100 best books of the 21st century.

  Theater by Victor Eftimiu – Fetele Didinei – if we look for the author on The Greatest Books of All Time site, Victor Hugo is offered instead: he was not a major figure, not even for his own country’s literature, if I am not mistaken     <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_Fw2SM-aWpQL4OfitXf2Rvs5KXReyYcgNnzIHx5TQxOG-PYqMZ_n7YVWA3m1BUy8aWrZNjZQrskibCJX2_THcuYk_WEw0LvpxOLtBzj4myBKY7sVdUaqHrh3W0dO7TNlbNSYvAHBXENfSNkecWCneuKIdN2JkF3ACbp7OGMKAzymTn3XETYYhZ2VrvkfZ" />   8 out of 10 George Constantin https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-marriage-proposal-by-anton-chekhov.html was the greatest thespian for the under signed, and he is the main reason why I listened to the Victor Eftimiu play, the other is that it takes only one hour and ten minutes of my (precious) time, see Seneca   The ancient philosopher, and one of the richest men of all time, explains in his chefs d’oeuvre that life is not short, the pro...
