About the author

Ion Creangă

178 books102 followers
Ion 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.

cred că propriul cal îl ura în secret pe Harap-Alb, but i still worship it; fata împăratului Roș este bad bitch și sper ca suntem de acord cu toții că Împăratul Verde este definiția "in denial"
Mi-a plăcut povestea 😘

putin plictisitoare partea cu Setila, Flamanzila etc in noaptea petrecuta in casa incinsa, in rest a fost chiar fun

Ba sa fiu sincera chiar e ft buna, scoala ne face sa ii uram pe scriitori nostri obligandu-ne sa citim…O data ce iti zice cineva sa o faci nu mai vrei so faci, oricat de usoara e acea chestie. Overall, e un basm frumos, are o morala buna si daca esti atent poti invata din el.
