Romfilatelia, the company specialized in issuing and trading Romanian postage stamps, releases the second part of the philatelic issued dedicated to some important celebrities of the world.
The notable people to whom we dedicate the five postage stamps are:
Hans Christian Andersen (1805 - 1875), Danish writer, famous for the universal literature dedicated to children. He approached all kinds of literary genres: stories, fairytales, poems, novels, plays, itinerary books, their themes being addressed to children.
Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955), born in Germany, he emigrated in the USA, due to the Nazi occupation. Author of the Theory of Relativity, the famous scientist was one of the moral authors of the first atomic bomb. After the Second World War, for ten years before his death, he was involved in the battle for the nuclear world disarmament.
Jules Verne (1828 – 1905), famous anticipation writer of the 19th century, passes for “the father” of science-fiction. Many of the technical realities of our days, like the submarine, the helicopter, the artificial isles or the space travels, were anticipated in his successful books.
Dimitrie Gusti (1880 – 1955), professor of global notoriety, has established for the first time the sociological research combined with the practical social action and social pedagogy. He is one of the initiators of the “Village Museum”.
George Enescu (1881 – 1955), composer, violinist, pianist, conductor and educator, has elevated the Romanian professional music to the level of the universal music values. Spiritual mentor for Yehudi Menuhin, George Enescu held concerts on all famous stages of the world, each time including in his repertory the famous Romanian Rhapsodies.
