"Roumanian Stories," translated from the original Roumanian by Lucy Byng et al., is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology aims to introduce English-speaking audiences to the essence of Roumanian literature and culture, showcasing tales rich in poetic beauty, local color, and emotional depth. The stories represent various facets of Roumanian life, featuring characters from different walks of life, reflecting the complexities of human experience within the unique context of Roumania. The opening of the book provides an insightful preface, including a dedication to Roumania's Queen and a discussion on the richness of Roumanian literature, particularly its short story tradition. Following this, the first story, "The Fairy of the Lake" by M. Sadoveanu, begins with the recollections of an old miller and a chance encounter with Zamfira, a strikingly beautiful girl, as they navigate the enchanting landscape near Popricani lake. The narrative unfolds with a blend of nostalgia and longing, exploring themes of love, nature, and the supernatural, setting the tone for the intriguing narratives that follow in the collection.
