My Country by King of Romania consort of Ferdinand I Queen Marie
"My Country" by Marie Queen of Romania is a rich, evocative exploration of the author's adopted homeland, written during the early 20th century. This work can be classified as a personal account and travelogue, detailing the landscapes, people, and culture of Romania from the perspective of its queen. The narrative reflects the author's deep affection for Romania, depicting both its picturesque beauty and the challenges faced by its people. In "My Country,"
Queen Marie shares her experiences and observations as she immerses herself in Romanian life over more than two decades. With vivid imagery and heartfelt language, she paints scenes of rural landscapes, charming villages, and the daily lives of the peasant folk. She highlights the struggles and resilience of the Romanian people, their connection to the land, and their simple yet rich traditions. Through her interactions with them—whether in humble cottages or during joyous harvest festivals—Marie illustrates a profound sense of unity and love for the nation that she has come to call home, ultimately wishing for others to appreciate its beauty as she does.
