About The Event
While foreign translations still make a fraction of the titles published in the US and the UK, the library of Romanian books in English is growing nonetheless and recently has been enriched with two perennial classics, Ciuleandra by Liviu Rebreanu (Cadmus Press) and Rakes of the Old Court by Mateiu Caragiale (Northwestern University Press).
