Here is a new book "Journey in India. Indian images
and illusions on the way of the Romanian
culture towards the Occident." by Liviu Bordas, a Romanian historian working in
Italy, I believe.
Unfortunately it's in Romanian, and not many Greeks can read it. But it
ought
to be listed on the elinepa website. In the description of the book, it
says:
"... the book presents various aspects of the relations between Romania
and
far-away India: from the medieval journeys to the romantic attraction of
the
Orient, from the image of India to indology, from the ambiguous placement
of
Romanians between Orient and Occident to the perception of Romanians as
objects
of orientalism in the first half of the 19th century. The pretext of the
book is
the Moldavian noble Ghica, who ran away to India at the mid of the 19th
century. He was discovered later as a Brahmin in one of the most important
centers of Hinduism".
