Interview: Ivan Radak, winner of the European Young
Journalist Award 2010
I
enjoy writing about the European Union

A
novel for teenagers
The first word of "Duel"

a beautiful and precious painting you automatically curse." It is the sunny
Sunday, 14th March, when everybody was free to travel by train through whole the
country, if being able to show "Duel" to the conductor, just as part
of the national Book week... >>

are travelling all over the world: from London to Paris, from New York to Amsterdam,
