  Abstract:  Lumi din cuvinte by Sanda Cordoş describes backgrounds, comprises state-ments and explains literary phenomena that have animated the Romanian social, politi-cal and cultural landscape for more than 50 years. The book evolves around mecha-nisms and outcomes of the Romanian totali-tarian regime, and its aftermath, with a credible focus on literature and its survival strategies, centripetal force and transforma-tions. Literature is, for the author, a powerful subversive universe, a molding force that can serve political and propagandistic pur-poses, but literature will remain the ultimate instance that will shape, forge and influence societies, especially in times of crisis.
