Summary

The Dance at Mociu brings together some thirty stories of Transylvania: not stories in the conventional sense, they range from meditation to epiphany, from observation to recordings of a world that seems threatened - the world of 'Old Europe', a Central Europe whose populations found themselves changing nationalities all too often in the 20th C.

The Dance at Mociu Summary

The Dance at Mociu by Peter Riley

The Dance at Mociu brings together some thirty 'stories' of Transylvania, a part of the world that has fascinated the author for many years, and which he and his wife visited frequently around the turn of millennium. These pieces are not stories in the conventional sense, but range from meditation to epiphany, from observation to recordings of an old world that seems threatened - the world of 'Old Europe', that Central Europe whose borders were flexible in the extreme, whose populations found themselves changing nationalities with alarming frequency in the 20th century, and whose cultures survived all the vicissitudes of war and rampant nationalisms only to face an uncertain future in the post-communist present. This is an expanded version of the 2003 edition, presented in a larger format.
