Aus meinem Königreich: Tales from the Carpathian Mountains
by Carmen Sylva
Edited by Wilhelm Bernhardt
"Aus meinem Königreich: Tales from the Carpathian Mountains" by Carmen Sylva is a collection of folklore and fairy tales written in the late 19th century. The work encapsulates stories that celebrate Roumanian heritage and the rich traditions embedded in the landscape of the Carpathian Mountains. Through enchanting narratives, the author illuminates the lives of the local people and their deep-rooted cultural beliefs. The beginning of the collection introduces the reader to "Piatra Arsa," a tale centered on the spirited young woman Pauna and her beloved Tannas, who is called to war. As Pauna waits anxiously for news of her fiancé amid the chaos of battle, sorrow and resilience characterize her state. The narrative unfolds with Pauna confronting Tannas, who returns injured but deeply devoted. Her journey evolves into one of nurturing and loyalty, culminating in their eventual union despite their tragic circumstances. This tender exploration of love amidst turmoil sets the stage for further stories that delve into the heart of Roumanian culture.
