Abstract: In the last century nationalism as a spiritual element – according to the 1919 state- ment of the historian, archaeologist and philosopher Vasile Pârvan – was a blessed plant grown on Romanian soil during the ’48 revolution, the ’59 union under Prince Cuza, the ’77 war of independence and the preparation of such a national project as the Union with the Romanian Kingdom of several Romanian-speaking provinces dominated by two em- pires – the Austrian and the Russian – epitomized by Transylvania which came finally to the motherland on the 1st of December 1918, the same day when the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was born. In the nationalism project, the Union Transylvania was a political priority. But we must add immediately that in the events of 1914–1916 in the neighbourhood of Romania a symbol of the national struggle became what Nicolae Iorga, in a famous lecture of 1915, called “the heroic and martyr Serbia”. Keywords: nationalism, Romania, Transylvania, Nicolae Iorga sed for the first time on the 4th of July 1892 by Maurice Barrès in his Uarticle “La querelle des nationalistes et des cosmopolites” in Le Figaro, the word “nationalism” was employed by the interwar and post 1945 dictatorship regimes of Central and Eastern Europe on several occasions in the twentieth century.

Kiseleff 32 Bucharest Romania , Herastrau Anyone who still thinks that Bucharest is a city of concrete and cement has clearly never been to the city’s lung, the incomparable Herastrau Park. Quite simply, this glorious park, spread over 187 hectares around Herastrau lake is one of the jewels in Bucharest’s crown, which might explain why half of the city chooses to spend its summer Sunday afternoons here. Herastrau was laid out from 1930-36 on what had until then been mainly marshland around the (natural) lake. The Village Museum - which occupies a large part of Herastrau and which is one of its most popular attractions was created at the same time. As early as the late 19th century, however, parts of the lakeshore served as a promenade for Bucharest’s wealthy, and the area surrounding the lake had long since become the most fashionable in the city. Indeed, the residence of Romania’s royal family, the Elisabeta Palace, is found inside Herastrau (although it is closed to the public). The name Herastrau has been in general use since the early 1960s. Herastrau was long neglected in the wake of the Romanian revolution of 1989, as the priorities of a country in transition lie elsewhere. In recent times however, the park has enjoyed much investment and has for a couple of years now once again been able to claim the title of the city’s best.

In 1857, Carol Davila, a graduate of medicine in Paris (France) founded the “National School of Medicine and Surgery” which evolved as the Faculty of Medicine, part of the Bucharest University. As a result 2 3 of the educational reform in 1948, the Institute of Medicine and Pharmacy was independently set up as a State Medical University. The university has a long tradition. Many professors have not only been masters of medical academic teaching, but also well known scientists: the names of Victor Babes, Ion Cantacuzino, Gheorghe Marinescu, Nicolae Paulescu, Thoma Ionescu, Mina Minovici, Grigore T.

  • Omanians and the Nobel Prizes for Science and Literature
    Revista Română de Studii Baltice şi Nordice, Vol. 4, Issue 1 (2012): pp. 83-104 OMANIANS AND THE NOBEL PRIZES FOR SCIENCE AND LITERATURE R Vasilica Sirbu Ph.D. in History at “Al.I. Cuza University of Iași”, Associated Researcher at University of Oslo, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract : There is much to be said about the Nobel Prizes. Numerous pages are written each year to promote, describe, analyze and criticize the prizes, their initiator and their evolution since 1901. The purpose of this study is to bring back to light from the dust of the archives information about those Romanians who were ahead of their times through their outstanding thinking and understanding of the world. Little has been written about those nominated, since it has been considered more relevant to focus on the winners. There were plentiful creative minds who only needed an opportunity to be known to the world. Famous Romanian names show up from the archives and the nomination database provided by the Nobel Institution and enable us to get a broad perspective of the nominators and the nominees. Ironically, as in the case of the Nobel Peace Prize, most of those who genuinely had a chance to win were never nominated. Rezumat: Articolul de faţă vine să continue prezentarea despre Premiile Nobel pentru Pace publicată în numărul anterior al acestei reviste. Daca până astăzi nu există nici un laureat român al Premiului pentru Pace, în domeniul medicinei şi literaturii românii au fost mai norocoşi. Cercetările medicale efectuate de minţi româneşti în laboratoare performante puse la dispoziţie de universităţi străine au condus la obţinerea mult râvnitului Premiu Nobel.
