Omschrijving

Discover the childhood stories that shaped Romania's national storyteller. A classic reborn in English, richly illustrated by Moldavian artist Olga Rogozenco. A village, a boy, a legacy that inspired generations.

In the heart of 19th-century Moldavia, Ion Creangă's childhood unfolds among the fields, festivals, and daily dramas of Humulesti--a world alive with laughter, hardship, and enduring tradition. First published in 1892, Memories of My Childhood has become the cornerstone of Romanian literature, its stories cherished by generations and taught from the earliest days of school.

This deluxe English edition brings Creangă's memoir to new life, featuring exquisite hand-painted illustrations by Olga Rogozenco that capture the spirit and color of rural Moldavia. More than a simple recollection, Creangă's narrative is a blend of family, folklore, and the formative moments that shaped a storyteller whose influence reached far beyond Romania's borders, inspiring writers across Europe in the early twentieth century.

For readers seeking a window into a vanished world--and the roots of a literary tradition--this volume offers both beauty and substance. Experience the wit, warmth, and wisdom of a boyhood that became a nation's touchstone, and discover why Creangă's voice continues to resonate, inviting new generations to cherish the power of memory and imagination.
