So much can be told, with little words. It is a challenge for the writer, and a thrill for the reader, as each time the tale is read, a new detail springs to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As an armchair historian, I love researching lost tales, traveling, exploring hidden corners, and unearthing new facts, forgotten characters, or hidden clues. I love to give them a voice and to bring them into the light in my tales. Be it people, animals, or the land and its architecture, no detail is too small, no voice is too soft. What was once overlooked now brings history alive in my historical or contemporary fiction books and short stories, such as the 100-Word Stories based on the history of Transylvania.&#8221; (Patricia Furstenberg)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>100-word stories included in Transylvania&#8217;s History A to Z:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Paleolithic Murder<\/strong><br><strong>Behind the Cave Art<\/strong><br><strong>Conduct in a <em>Neolithic Kingdom<\/em><\/strong><br><strong>Dacian Horses of Bronze Age<\/strong><br><strong>Echoes of a Battle, the Getae<\/strong><br><strong>Falx vs Gladius, D\u00e1oi vs Romans<\/strong><br><strong>Greed, of the Roman Kind<\/strong><br><strong>Hope Has Multiple Faces<\/strong><br><strong>Immortalis, the Immortal<\/strong><br><strong>Jottings on a Tree<\/strong><br><strong>Kaleidoscope by Castra Micia, Hunedoara<\/strong><br><strong>Laudable Attempt, to Some Extent<\/strong><br><strong>Motives of Christianity<\/strong><br><strong>New Footprints on Old Land<\/strong><br><strong>Oh, This Sweet Language of Ours<\/strong><br><strong>Powerful Tahutum Wants Transylvania<\/strong><br><strong>Quest Beyond the Forest<\/strong><br><strong>Romanian\u2019s Brother, the Woodland<\/strong><br><strong>Sincerely, your m-DNA, <em>Mitochondrial DNA<\/em><\/strong><br><strong>\u0162ara is Terra<\/strong><br><strong>Under the Threat of Crusades<\/strong><br><strong>Vlad the Impaler<\/strong><br><strong>Wars with Ottomans<\/strong><br><strong>X, I Sign My Letter with a Cross<\/strong><br><strong>Year of Our Lord, 1848<\/strong><br><strong>Zest for Peace and Unity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania\u2019s History A to Z: 100 Word Stories &#8211;
