1. Podul Mogoşoaiei
Povestea unei străzi
A vivid urban chronicle that traces the evolution of Bucharest’s principal thoroughfare—from its beginnings as a plank road to its transformation into Calea Victoriei—through archival anecdotes, period press, and imagery. Blending history and reminiscence, it assembles portraits of residents, inns, palaces, cafés, and theaters, recounts fires, wars, and waves of modernization, and recreates the changing rhythms, fashions, and architecture that shaped the city from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century.
