LAS VEGAS - s4story -- Histria Books is pleased to announce the release today, November 1, 2019, of Mihai Eminescu: Poems and Prose, a collection of literary writings in English translation of one of the greatest figures in Romanian and East European literature. The book is published by the Center for Romanian Studies, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to works on the history and culture of Romania.

This new edition of poems and prose by Mihai Eminescu includes a selection of the best English-language renditions of poems and prose by this remarkable cultural figure of the nineteenth century, whom the British writer George Bernard Shaw once referred to as "the Moldavian who raised the XVIII-XIX fin de siècle from its grave." It is undeniable that to have an appreciation of Romanian culture one must become acquainted with the works of Mihai Eminescu. The leading cultural figure of nineteenth century Romania, Eminescu (1850-1889) was not only a poet, but also a philosopher, prose writer, translator, and journalist. He is best seen as a man who embodied the national culture and, therefore, through his work, helped to give it shape.
