Constantin M. Popa published a travel diary in Western Europe and Canada. The journey, through the eyes of a literary critic and historian, changes its substance. Everything is passed through the filter of culture, cultural actuality, so that the world that the traveler describes is built on the book and immediately. Passages, connections are made so naturally, that the term travel takes on an extra nuance. The book is intended for young people (high school students and students), a fact that emerges both from the playfulness of the notation, from the cult of irony, self-irony, and from the mixing of genres (not only speeches), a procedure specific to Constantin M. Popa.
