Summary: "Legends from River & Mountain" by Carmen Sylva and Alma Strettell is a collection of folklore stories written in the late 19th century. The work presents enchanting tales rooted in Roumanian and German folklore, incorporating elements of magic, nature, and rich characterizations. These legends not only traverse across geographical landscapes but also evoke the deep cultural significance of the regions they explore, weaving stories that reflect human emotions and moral lessons. The opening of the anthology introduces readers to the mystical landscape of Roumanian mountains, notably the Bucegi group and the captivating twin peaks of Jipi. The tale of the Jipi reveals two inseparable brothers, Andrei and Mirea, who indulge in adventures and embody unwavering camaraderie. Their lives intertwine with a spirited wood-fairy, Urlanda, leading to humorous interactions, deep affection, and a poignant conclusion that binds their destinies in a tragic yet beautiful transformation. As they navigate love and loyalty against a backdrop of enchanting natural beauty, this initial story sets the stage for the themes of sacrifice, love, and the intertwining of human fates with folklore, thus drawing the reader into a realm of wonder and reflection.
