The prestigious cultural magazine “Secolul 21” pays tribute, in a special issue, to the great academician Solomon Marcus. Mrs Alina Ledeanu, president of the Secolul 21 Cultural Foundation, has managed, through a remarkable effort, to organise many events dedicated to the personality of the professor, the man of culture, science and art that Solomon Marcus was.
