Viorel Nicolescu knew everything that could be known—and something more, to use the famous words once said about Pico della Mirandola. He possessed knowledge but with the natural demeanor of someone more interested in his own ignorance, complemented by the joy of discovering another’s wisdom. Never have I encountered such openness toward others, such tolerance for another’s shortcomings, such a deep need for something beyond.

We move through the world as fleeting beings, shaped by the transformative encounters we experience. One such encounter for me was with Professor Viorel Nicolescu. A posthumous tribute feels sad and futile if appreciation is not also expressed during one’s lifetime. However, Viorel Nicolescu was always met with admiration, and in his bright eyes, one could see the joy of understanding. Now, all that remains for me is to retrace the path of the mark he left, as a spiritual mentor, in my own formation.

The first memory that comes to mind when I think of Professor Viorel Nicolescu is that clever, playful, and provocative smile with which he always welcomed us in the small room at the Institute of Educational Sciences.

It was a great fortune in my life to meet and know Viorel Mircea Nicolescu—my dear lifelong friend for 53 years, a renowned researcher in the field of educational sciences, and a respected professor who imparted the values of national and universal culture and education to many generations of students, master's candidates, and doctoral students.

Diana-Adriana Lefter presents, through this volume, a diachronic journey tracing the long-standing relationship between myth and theater. This is a dense and significant book in the field of theater studies, bearing the mark of a specialist in literature and myth criticism. Structured into three chapters and six appendices, Lefter's work explores the presence of the myth of Hercules' birth and the myth of Oedipus in plays from Greco-Roman Antiquity and French literature. There is a thematic structure—all the comedies in the corpus revolve around the same mythical subject, the birth of Hercules, while all the analyzed tragedies explore the myth of Oedipus—as well as a chronological structure, as the author seeks to capture the evolution of the two dramatic genres. This is a well-thought-out choice and an excellent selection of texts, as it allows for a parallel evolution: that of the dramatic genre and that of the literary adaptation of myths. .

The 2030 FIFA World Cup takes place for the first time in six countries across three continents. A century after the inaugural tournament, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are embarking on the tripartite organization of one of the world's most significant sporting events. This collaboration, commemorating the centenary of the competition, also includes the symbolic and inaugural participation of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In this context, twenty-two authors from various disciplines, coordinated by Hassan Arabi from the Mohamed I University in Nador and Azeddine Ettahri from the Mohamed V University in Rabat, have co-edited a joint book that offers an in-depth exploration of sports diplomacy. Prologued by Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, Morocco's Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication, the book analyzes the intersecting interests and perspectives arising among the three organizing countries, representing a vital link between the countries of Europe and Africa. This academic work delves into the complexities and opportunities presented by the collaboration among the participating nations, highlighting how sports can serve as a strategic tool in diplomacy and international relations, fostering understanding and cooperation among diverse cultures.

In 18 May - 1 October 2023, during the event Timișoara 2023. European Capital of Culture, in the Baroque Palace, the exhibition Cucuteni Culture: Apogee of European Prehistoric Art has been organised by Neamț National Museum Complex, Romanian Academy – Timișoara Branch, National Museum of Art in Timișoara and „Politehnica” University in Timișoara. The exhibition brought together the most important collection of prehistoric art in Eastern Europe, consisting exclusively of prestigious artefacts (vases, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic representations, ornaments and cult objects), masterpieces of decorative and figurative art, belonging to the most important civilisation of Old Europe – the Cucuteni culture. All the pieces are part of the patrimony of the Cucuteni Eneolithic Art Museum „Gheorghe Dumitroaia”, the History and Archaeology Museum, both in Piatra-Neamț, the History Museum in Roman and the History and Ethnography Museum in Târgu Neamț. This is practically the most important exhibition organized by the Neamț National Museum Complex, an institution that currently holds the richest collection of Cucuteni artefacts (of common use and prestige) in Romania. The cultural event in Timișoara is a special opportunity for our institution to continue the tradition started in Thessaloniki (Greece) in 1997 and continued in Sibiu (Romania) in 2007, that of organizing exhibitions of prestigious Cucuteni artefacts in the European Capitals of Culture. In 3-10 September West University in Timișoara hosted the XXth World Congress of the International Union of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences and the scientists, contributors to this event, had the opportunity to visit our exhibition.
