The present paper focuses on the importance of urban space within cultural and literary studies. The review presents one of the newest studies in the field – METROPOLEN ALS ORTE DER BEGEGNUNG UND ISOLATION: INTERKULTURELLE PERSPEKTIVEN AUF DEN URBANEN RAUM ALS SUJET IN LITERATUR UND FILM that analyses in its 726 pages the concept of space related to important world metropolises from a literary, cultural, social point of view. Most of the research stresses the importance the multi- and cross-cultural relations that are a constitutive element for spaces of big cities.
The present text introduces the anthological volume of Queen-poetess Carmen Sylva Poveştile unei regine [The Stories of a Queen] and highlights the fact that both her prose – tales and stories – and her poems are representative not only of her favorite themes and motifs, but also of the specific stylistic features of the author.
