Born in Bucharest of peasant stock, Tudor Arghezi (1880-1967) was
awarded Romania's National Poetry Prize in 1946 and the State Prize
for Poetry in 1956. The translators of this volume have endeavored
not only to convey the spirit of the original Romanian, but to find
an English equivalent for its sound. The English verse, printed
facing the Romanian, conveys the distilled, metaphorical nature of
a poetry that expresses a strong sense of ancestral continuity and
apocalyptic visions of the world. Originally published in 1976. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
