DESCRIPTION

This is an under-rated book by an underestimated writer. Princess Martha Bibescu gives a description of Romanians, mostly of peasants as perceived by ber at the beginning of the twentieth century. The book can also be read as a an anthropological study of the festivals celebrated by Romanians. The book is organised depending on red letter days of the Orthodox calendar around which the Romanian peasants' lives revolve.
