O frumoasa poveste orientala de la unul dintre cei mai fermecatori povestitori ” Frate draga, ce sa ‘ti spun? a raspuns Abu ‘Hasan. Mie, cel putin pana acum, dragostea mi s ‘a parut un fel de robie; uite, sa ‘ti marturisesc drept, mie atata mi ‘a placut In viata sa mananc, nu ceva scump, dar bun si curat, si mai ales sa beau un vinisor cum stiu eu, dar nu singur; mi ‘a placut sa petrec totdeauna cu prietenii, mai ales cu un om destept. La dragoste nu m ‘am prea gandit. Dar iar nu pot zice ca sunt de tot nestiutor ¦ Daca s ‘ar Intampla sa dau peste o femeie frumoasa si vesela ca una dintre acelea din visul meu, de care ‘ti povestii; sa vad eu ca si ea ma face haz asa cum sunt, ca mi ‘e urat serile cu mine; sa ‘mi cante frumos si sa ma tina de vorba cautand In toate chipurile sa ma faca s ‘o plac si eu pe ea “ de, parca ‘parca n ‘as zice ba ¦ Poate chiar dimpotriva, m ‘as lipi de ea cu tot sufletul si m ‘as simti fericit sa ‘i robesc. Ei! Dar unde sa gasesc eu asa femeie? Aceasta editie Arthur retro reproduce fidel editia originala aparuta la Editura Tineretului In anul 1966.

About the author

Ion Luca Caragiale

150 books183 followers
Ion Luca Caragiale was a Wallachian-born Romanian playwright, short story writer, poet, theater manager, political commentator and journalist. Leaving behind an important cultural legacy, he is considered one of the greatest playwrights in Romanian language and literature, as well as one of its most important writers and a leading representative of local humor. Alongside Mihai Eminescu, Ioan Slavici and Ion Creangă, he is seen as one of the main representatives of Junimea, an influential literary society with which he nonetheless parted during the second half of his life.

His work, spanning four decades, covers the ground between Neoclassicism, Realism, and Naturalism, building on an original synthesis of foreign and local influences.

Although few in number, Caragiale's plays constitute the most accomplished expression of Romanian theater, as well as being important venues for criticism of late 19th century Romanian society.

They include the comedies A Stormy Night, Conu Leonida faţă cu reacţiunea, O Scrisoare Pierduta Comedie in patru acte, and the tragedy Năpasta. In addition to these, Caragiale authored the melodrama O soacră, a large number of essays, articles, short stories, novellas and sketch stories, as well as occasional works of poetry and autobiographical texts such as Din carnetul unui vechi sufleur. In many cases, his creations were first published in one of several magazines he edited — Claponul, Moftul Român, Vatra and Epoca. Most of his prose works have been published under the title Momente, schite, povestiri: they include Căldură mare, Cănuţă om sucit, Două loturi, Grand Hotel "Victoria română", as well as several pieces referring to stock characters such as Lache and Mache, Marius Chicoş Rostogan and Mitică. In some of his later fiction writings, including La hanul lui Mânjoală, Kir Ianulea, Abu-Hasan, Pastramă trufanda and Calul dracului, Caragiale adopted the fantasy genre or turned to historical fiction.

Ion Luca Caragiale was interested in the politics of the Romanian Kingdom, and oscillated between the liberal current and conservatism. Most of his satirical works target the liberal republicans and the National Liberals, evidencing both his respect for their rivals at Junimea and his connections with the literary critic Titu Maiorescu. He came to clash with National Liberal leaders such as Dimitrie Sturdza and Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, and was a lifelong adversary of the Symbolist poet Alexandru Macedonski. As a result of these conflicts, the most prominent of Caragiale's critics barred his access to the cultural establishment for several decades. During the 1890s, Caragiale rallied with the radical movement of George Panu, before associating with the Conservative Party. After having decided to settle in Berlin, he came to voice strong criticism for Romanian politicians of all colors in the wake of the 1907 Romanian Peasants' Revolt, and ultimately joined the Conservative-Democratic Party.

Ion Luca was the nephew of Costache and Iorgu Caragiale, who were major figures of mid-19th-century Romanian theater. His sons Mateiu I. Caragiale and Luca I. Caragiale were both modernist writers.

Nu mai stiu prin ce imprejurari am aflat despre acest basm scris de Caragiale, basm despre care nu auzisem nimic, asa ca mi-am propus sa il citesc. Este o poveste complexa, interesanta si amuzanta, in care tema principala este "ce ai face tu daca ai fi pentru o zi conducatorul credinciosilor?"

Este un basm despre morala si despre lectiile pe care le culegem din interactiunile cu ceilalti. Mi-a facut placere sa-l citesc.

Această povestire a lui Caragiale îmi era total necunoscută și este și favorita mea din cele trei. Este vorba despre un cetățean care ajunge peste noapte conducătorul regatului, fără să își dea seama cum se întâmplă acest lucru. Bineînțeles că povestea mi-a adus aminte de Lampa lui Aladin, având un motor similar al acțiunii. Încă din copilărie m-au atras povestirile arăbești, deși nu am parcurs foarte multe. Caragiale a intrat foarte bine în acest spirit și mi-ar plăcea ca acest volum să devină mult mai popular, în special în rândurile copiilor.

O poveste simplă, necunoscută publicului larg, ce dezvoltă ideea dorințelor omului de rând aflat în papucii conducătorului credincioșilor. Răsplata pentru cinste, lipsa prietenilor adevărați, nebunia întoarcerii împotriva părinților, toate acestea condimentate cu mirodeniile orientului.

Un basm de citit la cafea.
