Reviews for The Story of Harap Alb

[Catalina Sorina Apreotesei · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The original story of Harap Alb, written by Ion Creanga, is wonderful, deeply rooted in symbolism and magic, but the translation is far from the original text. With all due respect, starting with the first paragraph of the translation, if the two kings are brothers, how can their children be "grandsons" and "granddaughters" for one another... ?!
