Summary/Abstract: from the introduction: Some time ago, the excellent French publishing house Armand Colin published the small handbooks by G. Dupont-Ferrier on the formation of the French state and French unity, by G. Bourgin on the formation of Italian unity, and later this collection was supplemented by »Die deutsche Einheit« completed by P. Benaerts. Based i those volumes it seemed necessary to me to also prepare a work on Romanian unity, which was clearly the main problem of national history ... I hastily wrote a small book entitled "A riddle and a miracle of history: the Romanian people". , in which I was obliged to reopen the problem, so often discussed for more than a century, of the origin of a nation whose obscure past during the first centuries of the Middle Ages made the all too easy saying that peoples who have no history are happy, so strikingly refuted. Several editions that this work has undergone (French, Romanian, German and Italian) have proved its usefulness. [published in 1944 in Bucharest by the »N. Iorga Institute for World History«]
