Abstract
On Wednesday, February 28, 2018, at the Gaudeamus Book Fair, in the foyer of the "Marin Sorescu" National Theater, an impressive monograph of Craiova City was launched, to which over 20 specialists contributed. The work is coordinated by the university professors Dumitru and Cristina Otovescu and from the collections of authors being part of the academic community of Craiova, such as Sandu Boengiu, Dinica Ciobotea, Cezar Avram, Firmilian Calota, Tudorel Ciurea, Carmen Banța etc. The paper is bilingual (Romanian-English), being a useful tool in this respect not only for the locals, who can get to know the community in all its constitutive aspects, but also for tourists and researchers interested in the history and present of the Money Fortress. Through its multidisciplinary character, as well as through the depth of the volume analysis, this work makes you believe not only that it is an atypical monograph, but also an anthology, an almanah or even an encyclopedia dedicated to the citizens and not only.
