Gheorghe Bănică: "Risipiri împreunate"
"Clasped Dispelling", by Gheorghe Bănică

Summary/Abstract: The latest editorial of the tireless writer George Bănică from Caracal, Romania, a book having a title with a reso nant metaphor, proposes us a unique journey through history, science and culture, approaching military traditions, secular or religious events, people and facts that the author has known and lived directly or only from livresque sources. Being a genuine Renaissance spirit, anxious and clear sighted, the writer George Bănică structures through words and pictures a world of ideas in which we have to deal with the reflection of the real into the imaginary and, should it be the case, the reflection of the imagi nary into the real, in a paradigm that highlights the inspiration, erudition, talent and metaphysical anxiety of a keen spirit, deter mined to decode, at the crossroads of words, the mysteries and values of a world that keeps going round, to grasp the universal springs in a relevant synthesis, to ask questions, to seek answers and to draw conclusions. It is a laborious and unwonted approach that he takes without losing sight of the spiritual, emotional and aesthetic dimension of life, the innermost part of the human soul full of delicacy, beauty and morality, elements which he trans figures into as many memorable events, through the grace and endeavour of an authentic writer, charmed by the mirage of the written word. The book that the author proposes us to read is written with a distinct epic blast, with a large volume of work, coupled with a passion worthy of all admiration. It is to be read with great interest by the perceptive students and offers an attractive, com pelling reading to all those who are eager for knowledge. Author of four volumes and co author of other three, George Bănică is an intellectual with a delightful erudition based upon a downright formidable memory, ennobled by a sense of sharing.
