Ion Pillat descoperă Balcicul by Carmen Brăgaru

“…A passionate reader and consumer of history and geography and a born traveler, the poet had the chance to visit from an early age an impressive number of regions and cities in Europe, from Normandy, Bretagne, Loire Valley, Bruges, Anvers, Venice, Delft, Hague, Amsterdam to Prague, Bratislava, Barcelona, Geneva, Vienna, Brussels, Berlin, Constantinople, Varna, Athens and many others.
