“Searching for the White Magician” Book Launch

”Searching for the White Magician(“In Cautarea Magicianului Alb”, 2013), Stefania Magidson’s first book, was launched in Los Angeles (Viitorul Roman), New York (Cenaclul Literar “Mihai Eminescu” & Lumina Lină magazine). Written in Romanian and published by Fundatia-Editura “Scrisul Romanesc”, the book is a collection of dialogues between the author and writer Carmen Firan on themes of immigration, philanthropy, spiritual psychology and self-realization.

The two writers talk freely and unconventionally about a wide range of topics, from the mystery of the soul to the fear of death, from anxiety to sin and punishment, from religion to dogma and divinity, from the meaning of dreams to the invisible strings that tie us to the constantly spinning wheel of life.

The book was released in Bucharest (18 June 2013) at Mihail Sadoveanu bookstore and in Brasov (June 19th) at St. O. Iosif bookstore with the author and Romanian actress Cătălina Mustață. In Bucharest, Stefania’s special guests were Anca Ioniță (moderator), journalist and editor in chief of Business Review and Princess Marina Sturdza, an iconic ambassador for social and charity projects. In Brasov, the book launch was moderated by Denise Theodoru, the radio editor of Radio România.

”The White Magician is that Higher Self within us all which understands the subtle laws of the Universe and has a direct connexion with our intuition. I invite the readers on a journey of exploring their hidden ability to materialize the inner worlds whose potential we only intuit. Let us choose a dream we’ve always had and transform it into reality.” Stefania Magidson

One hundred percent of the revenues obtained from the book sales will be donated to benefit the Blue Heron Foundation College Scholarship Program, aimed at helping orphaned and abandoned students who have exceptional potential but are deprived of material means. https://www.facebook.com/InCautareaMagicianuluiAlb
