Summary "Țara mea" by Queen Marie of Romania is a collection of personal reflections and sketches written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a heartfelt exploration of Romania's landscape, culture, and people, detailing the author's deepening connection with her adopted homeland after years of residing there. Through her observations, she aims to capture the essence of Romania's soul, including its beauty and the struggles of its rural inhabitants. The opening of the book reveals the author's personal journey as she navigates her evolving identity as a foreigner becoming one with the Romanian people. Queen Marie starts by describing her love for the countryside and its diverse scenery, from vast plains to unspoiled mountains, and emphasizes the simple yet profound lives of the peasants she encounters. She reflects on their dignity and resilience, despite hardship, and expresses an earnest desire to share their stories, capturing the spirit of a nation marked by both beauty and sorrow. Throughout this introductory section, her admiration for the natural world and the Romanian cultural heritage shines through, setting the tone for what appears to be both a tribute and a study of her beloved adopted home.
