It's an amazing feeling to read a fantasy story written in your own language after such amount of foreign fantasy.

Câlin, nebunul (Câlin, the Madman) blends romanticism with elements of folklore and existential themes. It tells the story of Câlin, the Madman, and how he navigates the world in the search of the emperor's three kidnapped daughters.
The story explores themes of fate, madness, and the tragic beauty of love. I loved how Eminescu's poetic style is impregnated in the narrative, making it feel almost like a long, dreamlike ballad instead of the short tale it is; and I'm here for it.
4.5 stars ⭐

Read as part of the volume Proză.
I'm not really fond of Romanian fairy tales as they all follow a generic and formulaic recipe. And, Călin Nebunul while not bad, does not dare to bring anything new. It's just another one to add to the bunch.
