TRANSYLVANIA. Tears and Crosses is a remarkable work by Radu Matei Todoran that blends historical reality with the living heartbeat of folklore. Across seven interconnected stories, the reader travels through the mountains, valleys, and crossroads of a region often reduced to cliché, discovering instead its depth, diversity, and spirit.
It beautifully captures both grand historical events and intimate human moments. In Split, a miner’s encounter with the mythical Vâlva reveals a covenant between man, land, and community. In The Woman in the Wilderness, the little-known story of Transylvanian Pietists crossing the Atlantic brings new light to early American history.
