Romanian Folk Tales

ISBN: 9781535350174

Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Please note - these are not "politically correct" tales. . In the Queen of Fairies (in the original, The Fairy of Fairies) as also in The Enchanted Prince, the plain-spoken expression has in several places been somewhat toned down. In all these cases the translator has cravenly yielded to the fear of bruising the delicate susceptibilities of civilized folks, who, while not exactly more moral, are certainly more squeamish than the artless old-world peasant. The book contains 7 original Romanian tales, as published in 1870s by Petre Ispirescu, as well as their English translation.

Frustrated, Noah finally declares, "Oh, you devil, come in!" and not only persuades his wife but also gives the Devil himself the invitation he needed to come aboard.
