This academic text translated into English by Gabriel Roman; "TIMIȘOARA AND ARAD AT THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY," draws upon a study by Bogoly József Ágoston to examine urban life and development in Timișoara and Arad around 1890. It centers on analyses of articles from the literary journal "Magyar Salon" written by Róbert Tábori and Károly Méray-Horváth. These authors offered literary and social perspectives on the physical space, culture, and societies of the two cities, highlighting their multinational character, urbanization, and the process of Hungarianization. The source further explores how these narratives contribute to understanding the cultural memory and historical geography of the region.

These document drafted by Károly Sándor offer an insightful look into the city of Arad during the interwar period, detailing its social, cultural, and economic stagnation despite a smooth transition to Romanian administration. The sources highlight Arad's diverse population and its historical lack of ethnic tension, yet emphasize a general inertia and resistance to change that persisted through significant political shifts. While the arts scene experienced a decline, the press and literary life remained vibrant, and local social interactions largely moved from cafes to clubs. Economically, Arad suffered from bankruptcies and declining industry, struggling to compete with neighboring cities and hampered by its border location, ultimately failing to undergo significant development or urbanization during this era.
