Abstract
This paper aims at investigating the work of a Romanian writer fascinated by travels on water, by the Danube whose waves he sailed on; then he put down his impressions in a travel memorial (The Book of the Danube), whose posthumous publication took away some of his merits of the pioneering theme, but not the value of the text itself that time passing makes more challenging for those who are fond of a quick reading, a cvasi-journalistic one.
