Title: Mihai Eminescu - The Legend of the Evening Star: Legenda Luceafarului Author: Mihai Eminescu, Adrian George Sahlean - translator Narrator: Jeremy Geidt Format: Unabridged Length: 24 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-15 Publisher: Global Arts Genres: Classics, Poetry Publisher's Summary: The 98-stanza meter-and-rhyme translation of "Legenda Luceafarului" - an entrancing masterpiece by Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), the Romanian national poet - captures the essence of the original work's musicality and poetic nuance. It is the story of a young princess' longing and impossible love for the immortal star who, sharing her love, takes human form and tries to become mortal. The Eve Star's flight back through time and space to Father Demiurge in search of it, as part of this enticing romantic tale, combines poetic substance and existential insights that will delight any listener. Mr. Sahlean is justly considered the premiere translator of Eminescu into English. This rendition has no sense of limitation or restriction found in some translations and is truly rewarding when heard aloud. "The Legend of the Evening Star" was twice staged as a theatrical-musical-choreographic production off-Broadway in 2005 and 2008.
