Category: History
Acum, nu că mi-ar fi ruşine de atributul de vâlcean în a-l atribui omului de cultură care a fost Costea Marinoiu. Nici vorbă. Vâlcea, în conceptul multor istorici şi cercetători ştiinţifici este mai vechi decât cuvântul român...iar apropierea de lup mi-e mai dragă decât de rom! Însă ilustrul om de cultură vâlcean, scriitor, om al cărţii, a gândit şi t... Read all >>

Most teachers of English as a foreign language will identify fairly readily with one group or the other, with those who would welcome the chance to... Read all >>
