Volumul Anii 80 si bucurestenii contine un dictionar de termeni ai vietii cotidiene din Romania anilor '80, realizat de Muzeul Taranului Roman cu sprijinul unor colaboratori entuziasti, stransi in jurul Irinei Nicolau.
O parte din texte au fost transcrise de pe casete audio, in timp ce altele au fost redactate direct in scris de catre autorii lor. Marturiile culese sunt impregnate de sentimentul ca experienta supravietuirii merita comunicata, dar si de placerea povestirii, ca efect de perspectiva. Intamplarile traite, odata rememorate, devin povesti, lucrurile se vad altfel privite cu nostalgia propriei tinereti, dar si datorita comparatiei inerente cu libertatea castigata in 1989, materializata astazi in delasare, obraznicie, mizerie si lipsa de respect. Inainte, aceasta uratenie era ocultata de cenzura, de vorbirea de lemn si de minciuna oficiala.
Din anii '80 fiecare alege sa-si aminteasca doar ce vrea, doar ce poate.
James Alfred "Alf" Wight, OBE, FRCVS (3 October 1916 – 23 February 1995), known by the pen name James Herriot, was a British veterinary surgeon and writer, who used his many years of experiences as a veterinary surgeon to write a series of books each consisting of stories about animals and their owners.[1] He is best known for these semi-autobiographical works, beginning with All Creatures Great and Small in 1972. The British television series adapted from the books is also titled All Creatures Great and Small. ro
