Masterpieces

Chalet was inspirational place for the Master. Many scenarios for iconic movies like "Haiducii" (The Outlaws), "The Road of the Bones", "The Yellow Rose" were born here. Marga was the main feminine character of these films, showing brilliant interpretation. Through these roles Marga has definitely become the immortal actress of Romanian cinema.

One of the most important Romanian novelists of all time, Eugen Barbu, The Master, published his first novel, "Groapa" (The Dump) in 1957 after rewriting it 13 times!. This novel describes the rich life of the poor people and is considered an absolute masterpiece. "Principele" (The Prince), it's an exceptionnal novel, representing the metaphore of the Power and its excess. "The week of the Fouls" is a wonderdul love and passion story, between Hrisant and Herula. This book was almost completely written in Chalet.

Barbu is a creator of atmospheres and sensations, a painter of human nature and a formidable aesthetic, erotic and esoteric narrator. His personnages are deep, colourful, using an extraordinarily rich language. While reading, you dive in a narrative universe beyond the Time.

Chalet is therefore a beautiful artistic heritage, a place where you feel diving in a warmth and surprising athmosphere.

And, while looking the Carpathians peaks, you will certainly understand why The Master wrote that "The mountain is not just a part of the universe, but a universe itself."
