Dracula Bookmarks
Targoviste - between myth and reality
Synopsis
Centuries ago, Vlad Tepes, a Romanian prince, became well known in Europe because of his bloody habit, impaling. For this reason, people called him Vlad the Impaler. One of the favourite cities to express this bloody wish, was Targoviste. That’s why, Vlad the Impaler has been associated with Dracula, and Targoviste as one of Dracula’s house.
How does it look Targoviste nowadays?
A very quiet town, the only army that makes noise is for the celebration of the town.
Αιώνες πριν, γράφουν οι Ρουμάνοι συνεργάτες μας, ένας αιμοσταγής ηγεμόνας της Βλαχίας, ο Βλαντ Τέπες, ήταν διαβόητος στην Ευρώπη για τη συνήθειά του να ανασκολοπίζει τους εχθρούς του. Ένα από τα κάστρα του, το κάστρο του Δράκουλα βρίσκεται στην πόλη μας, Ταργκοβίστε, σήμερα μια ήσυχη επαρχιακή πόλη. Ο μόνος στρατός που παρελαύνει είναι οι κάτοικοι κατά τις τοπικές γιορτές.

NOTE: Demeter, the ancient goddess of earth, had a special connection to our town. "Demeter" is the name of the ship with which Dracula travelled from Romania to England, in a most thrilling story within a story!

ΣΗΜ.: Στο βιβλίο, ο Δράκουλας ταξιδεύει από τη Ρουμανία στην Αγγλία με καράβι που ονομάζεται ΔΗΜΗΤΡΑ! Πρόκειται για τη θεά των Ελευσινίων μυστηρίων που δίδαξε την καλλιέργεια του σίτου και έδωσε ελπίδα για τη μεταθανάτια ζωή στους θνητούς!

BOOK CHARADES
Saying goodbye today was made easier by playing the Library Angel. He whispered the answers to the student's questions through the wisdom of the books. Indeed, Aris opened "On the road" by Jack Kerouak only to read an excerpt containing "Catalina", which, spelt "Katalina" one of our twinner's name!
Since only one team had sound, we then decided to play charades. That really was fun, especially after an exam day, which accounts for the poor turn-up of the Greek team. But the boys did well, and the teams were once again in harmony. The Library wishes them both all the best in their lives and studies. It was an unforgettable partnership!

Indeed, was a wonderful chat. And the miss of the sound was not such a big deal, because, I think during our project, we became aware of many things we have in common and was easy to understand each other.
As Helen told me, we'll miss our project that's why very difficult to close it. I whish you a wonderful holiday, full of love and beaty.
It was rather interesting for me to read this blog. Thank you for it. I like such themes and everything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more on that blog soon.
