Sorin Hadârcă s-a născut la Bălți. De mic, ambiția lui era să devină pensionar, poet sau vânzător la chioșcul cu ziare. Soarta, însă, a hotărât altfel. A studiat sociologia și economia, a făcut o carieră vertiginoasă la Banca Națională a Moldovei, după care a plecat să-și ia masteratul în Spania. Revenit în țara, s-a reinventat în calitate de expert în politici publice. A lucrat în acest domeniu din 2005, lucrează și acum. Și-a dus expertiza în țări precum Kazahstan, Georgia, Armenia, Kosovo și Bangladesh. Un cititor avid, i-a urmat sfatul lui Walter Benjamin, potrivit căruia, cel mai nobil mod de a-ți completa o bibliotecă este scriind cărți. A debutat la Cartier cu volumul „Zen la pachet” în 2014. Mai târziu, a dat de zen pe drumuri. Urma ...more

Vorbe, fapte, bani

În 2019 aveam în față o alegere simplă. În Republica Moldova nu se mai putea trăi. Miliard furat, justiție îngenuncheată, alegeri locale trucate, anchete regizate – cunoașteți povestea.  Am ales oferta cea mai credibilă, mai ales că opoziția veritabilă formase un bloc comun. Am considerat justificată „alianța nefirească” și m-am bucurat când, chiar și cu lumina stinsă, deputații socialiști și cei

Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima

Absolutely mind-blowing novel that can be read on so many levels. First of all, quite a page-turner. Following the emotions of the young Kiyoaki is already enough, but seeking to extract meaning to his (or anyone's really) actions is another dimensio ...more
Dragostea în vremea urii by Florian Illies
"Dragostea în vremea urii nu e o istorie culturală a iubirii și nici o istorie a sexualității. Nu are introducere, nu are concluzii, nu are note explicative. În fond, nu știm ce gîndește autorul despre complicatul lui subiect. Illies nu e un reflexiv." Read more of this review »
Inventarul lucrurilor disparute by Judith Schalansky
"Judith Schalansky scrie cu subtilitate și talent literar despre pierderi și dispariții. Am pierdut o mulțime de lucruri, am pierdut o mulțime de vieți, ne-am pierdut adeseori mințile. Acum sîntem pe cale să ne pierdem și memoria.

Runaway Horses by Yukio Mishima
"An improvement on the wonderful Spring Snow - and yet totally dependent on it, as the scope and strangeness of Mishima's tetralogy comes into view. Honda, a supporting character from Spring Snow, now a judge, is shocked 20 years after the action of t" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Sorin Hadârcă  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Gardul metafizic, ca şi zidul, stă să blocheze. Să nu lase să intre, dar mai cu seamă, să nu lase să iasă. Şi totuşi zidurile au stat de pe timpuri ca o provocare – o cetate e ca şi o invitaţie de a fi cucerită, zdrobită… Un perete – va rezista sau nu va rezista? De gard nu se ia nimeni: gardul e păzit, năruit, rezemat, dar niciodată cucerit…”
― Sorin Hadârcă, Zen la pachet

“Mă gândesc că, deşi concepem istoria ca pe ceva foarte mare şi rece, iar propria biografie ca pe ceva micuţ și insignifiant, în realitate şi una și cealaltă sunt puse în mişcare de răsucirea arcului mecanic. Se întâmplă ca vreo biografie să se ridice la rangul de istorie, dar se întâmplă şi invers – istoria alungă biografia din propria ei casă, provocând cataclisme.”
― Sorin Hadârcă, Zen la pachet

“Pentru ca să fie strigată, Minciuna se prezintă cu actele de identitate ale Adevărului. Bineînţeles, falsificate.”
― Sorin Hadârcă, Zen la pachet

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

“The wish to disappear sends many travelers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party's extension, being kept waiting all your working life - the homebound writer's irritants. But also being kept waiting is the human conditon.”
― Paul Theroux, Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Cape Town

“Never trust a man who reads only one book.”
― Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Purity of Blood

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
― Charles Bukowski

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski
