Elevul Dima dintr-a VII a by Mihail Drumes is not the best book you can read, on the contrary, I would say it is to be avoided, not that there is a chance in a million to get into your hands any time soon, unless you live in this part of the world, where the oeuvre was quite popular, I don’t know about now…you find thousands of reviews of better works on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-you-have-any-suggestions-how-to-make.html

7 out of 10

 

 

Mircea Cartarescu https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/10/irish-coffee-by-mircea-cartarescu.html would be a much better choice, if you are looking for a contemporary, Romanian writer, in fact, he has been mentioned in connection with the Nobel Prize, and although that is subjective, he does have a chance…

 

While Student Dima is only 17003rd on The Greatest Books of All Time site, Cartarescu has his Nostalgia at 1582, and furthermore, I see people on Goodreads posting about his body of work, which I must confess that I fins too complex for me, and not really ‘my style’, but then, he is so popular and appreciated, he does not need my approval

Mihail Drumes offers readers entertainment, and the reason I thought back to this book that I have taken, and probably enjoyed these decades ago is that YouTube recommends various videos, and recently it suggested Dima, positive psychology agrees  https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/positive-psychology-by-kate-hefferson.html if we look at the rules

 

There was a study they made, connected with Harvard: ‘In the summer of 1979, Ellen Langer conducted the Counterclockwise study, a pioneering experiment on aging and mind-body unity. A group of men in their 70s and 80s were taken to a New Hampshire monastery and instructed to live as if it were 1959, leaving behind modern items, discussions, and reminders of the present’ you should search for it, it is unbelievable

The results were spectacular, and I keep thinking of ‘reminisce’ as a commandment, maybe I get younger, there are other activities that work, and you find twelve in the glorious The How of Happiness https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-how-of-happiness-by-sonja.html by wondrous Sonja Lyubomirsky

 

‘Happiness Activity No 8: Increasing FLOW Experiences-increasing the number of experiences at home and working which you LOSE YOURSELF, which are challenging, absorbing’ would be one item that does not approve of Student Dima, not in my case anyway, in that it is not absorbing, challenging, not at this time

Granted, I have become somebody else, as Proust (and others) writes, he was musing about his past love, maybe it was for Gilberte, and how he is indifferent to her charms, now that he has become a different person https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/albertine-disparue-by-marcel-proust.html just like when I was a teenager, Dima was not just good enough, I think it was thrilling, fifty years or so mean that I cannot recall, it is also true that reading Dostoevsky https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/05/crime-and-punishment-by-fyodor.html stayed with me, the difference one would say between memorable, fundamental, and Pulp Fiction…

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
