Istoria cărților care au schimbat destinul poporului român. De la bucoavnele cu litere rusești la manualul unic pline de ideologie comunistă și chipul „conducătorului iubit”

The history of school textbooks in Romania spans nearly three centuries, evolving from religious texts to modern educational tools. Initially, textbooks served as religious aids, with the first Romanian manuals appearing in Transylvania. The introduction of the printing press in the 15th century marked a significant turning point, leading to the creation of the first Romanian 'bucoavna' in 1699. Over time, educational reforms and the establishment of schools contributed to the development of more structured and diverse curricula. The 19th century saw the emergence of standardized textbooks, including the famous 'Abecedarul lui Creangă', which became a cornerstone of Romanian education. This evolution reflects the broader changes in Romanian society and the importance of education in shaping national identity.
