AmCham Romania is pleased to invite you to a Business Breakfast with Mr. Jim Rosapepe, former U.S. Ambassador to Romania and Mrs. Sheilah Kast, award-winning journalist.
Mr. Rosapepe and Mrs. Kast are visiting Romania on the occasion of launching their book “Dracula is Dead”.
The book describes Romania as an amazing land—beyond Dracula, beyond orphans, beyond Communism, to the vibrant culture, unique history, and 21st Century skills which define modern Romania.
“Romania is a living legacy of Rome, as well as a great American ally. Jim and Sheilah are outstanding guides to this country, which is both familiar and exotic."
Madeleine K. Albright, U.S. Secretary of State, 1997-2001
“Dracula is Dead is just the right metaphor. This interesting and entertaining book, with Sheilah's journalistic acumen and Jim's inside knowledge, takes readers behind the myth and the fiction to today's real Romania."
Professor Radu R. Florescu sr. historian and co-author, In Search of Dracula
“If you buy only one book about Romania , Dracula is Dead should be the one. Culture, religion, war, humor, kings, Communists, kids, IT nerds, gypsies -- and Dracula -- they're all here, seen through the eyes of two keen American observers and storytellers."
Sam Donaldson , ABC News contributor and anchor
The meeting will also include a book signing session.
Further information regarding our guest and the book, are available at www.draculaisdead.com
Participation for AmCham members is free of charge. Limited seats are available therefore please confirm your participation in advance by e-mail to amcham@amcham.ro, by Monday, November 23, 1.00 pm.
