Summary/Abstract: THe page features two different articles which review two novels recently translated into Romanian in the Third Europe Collection of the Polirom Publishing House. Gabriela Glavan and Delia Cursan try to initiate the readers into the intricate web of narrative startegies used by two contemporay writers representative for Central European sensitivity - Nadas Peter and Olga Tokarczuk. Both reviews constitute stong pleas in favour of the respective novels, emphasising the originality and the ludic dimension of two literary pieces situated on the uncertain edge between reality and reflection, interiority, magic.
