| | Mihai Eminescu |
 | | His childhood was happy, and for a while Mihai was a model student. |
 | | Like much of Europe, Romania looked towards France and Germany in the first half of the nineteenth century, and Eminescu drew on Kant and Schopenhauer for his thought, reworking their ideas in historical sagas, an intense nationalism and tender broodings on love. |
 | | Translations of Eminescu's poetry into European languages are online at virtualave, jeanloup, thebans, luceafarul, far-kuan, arlindo_correia, and as anthologies listed at pigeon, netstore, amazon, mystery bookstore and eminesca cd. |
