'The Legend of the Evening Star/Luceafarul is a special commemorative bilingual

Mihai Eminescu, Romania's foremost poet. The Evening Star, Eminescu's cornerstone
work, blends universal myth and poetic genius with story-telling of unmistakable
folkloric influence.

etchings by the late Romanian artist Traian Alexandru Filip, whose powerful,
emotionally charged works grace many international museums, including the
Vatican. The introductory note to this edition is written by the well-known
poet Nina Cassian. The translator's note addresses the specific intentions
of the English version by its author, Adrian George Sahlean. The edition
