Povestiri licenţioase
Povestiri corozive
Cele doua povesti licentioase au fost tiparite pentru prima oara de Kirileanu in tiraj redus, odata cu editia de Opere din 1939 si reluate abia dupa revolutie.
In Povestea povestilor, aluzia, echivocul si mersul pe sarma cuvintelor sunt parasite pentru o exprimare franc-licentioasa. Povestea lui Ionica cel Prost, care va fi avut un model renascentist cine stie pe ce cale cunoscut lui Creanga, prefera insa echivocul expresiei directe si lubrice, dar nu e straina nici de o alta trasatura definitorie a prozei majore a lui Creanga, si anume farsa enorma.

About the author
Ion Creangă
129 books104 followersIon Creangă was a Moldavian-born Romanian writer, raconteur and schoolteacher. A main figure in 19th century Romanian literature, he is best known for his Childhood Memories volume, his novellas and short stories, and his many anecdotes.
Creangă's main contribution to fantasy and children's literature includes narratives structured around eponymous protagonists (Povestea lui Harap Alb, Ivan Turbincă, Dănilă Prepeleac), as well as fairy tales indebted to conventional forms (Povestea porcului, Capra cu trei iezi, Soacra cu trei nurori).
Like Swift or Mark Twain, Creangă is more than a story-teller for children or simply a humorist. His work is a human and social document of the ways of thinking and the life of a Romanian village in the nineteenth century. It may seem of restricted interest, owing to the local peasant setting, as well as to the language in which it was written; it carries nevertheless all the joy and pathos of a book of universal significance. Creangă's Memories symbolically picture the destiny of every child walking the path toward maturity and experience. The work inaugurates an original formula in the art of memoir writing, and represents a monument of high spirits and verbal abundance. A jovial verbal torrent, a kind of lexical spree, generously flushes this rhapsody of perennial childhood.
