| An Old Black Marble
| | Florin Nicoara
| “One day I looked into the mirror and I was old. I looked out the window and saw that I was rich. I looked at my family and saw that it was good. I looked at my life and saw that it was full, but when I looked back in the mirror all that I could see was an impostor, a phantom, and the phantom was dying from a cancer...”
An Old Black Marble is a philosophical literary thriller of a man born in Eastern Europe just before WWII. The story is a fictional narrative based on real events of the people at the bottom rung of society and the trials and tribulations they had to endure surviving war, famine, government collapse, communist take over, and ultimately immigration, not to mention personal family and religious issues. It is the story of struggling to find sanity in an increasingly insane world where real forces greater than the individual can change one’s fortunes and destiny in a blink of an eye. The main character, Ciprian Indre, does ultimately find his sanity and overcomes his crazy world in the most interesting and unexpected way, but not without paying a mighty price. An Old Black Marble is a powerful inspirational novel that will draw you into another world, and leave you seeing this one in a whole new light.
