My Country (eBook)

Queen Marie of Romania, born into the British royal family as Princess Marie of Edinburgh, was an exceptional literary figure in addition to her prominent role as the queen consort of King Ferdinand I of Romania. Her literary contributions, notably the book 'My Country,' reflect her deep passion for the adopted land she came to love. Born on October 29, 1875, in England, and passing away on July 18, 1938, in Romania, Queen Marie was not only involved in the political and social welfare activities of her time but also engaged with the cultural aspect of Romania, which she embraced wholeheartedly. 'My Country' is a vivid portrayal of Romania and its people, enriched by her unique perspective as a royal yet deeply human author. Her narrative style often weaved together personal experiences with a broader historical context. Queen Marie's writing is characterized by its articulate and engaging prose, through which she hoped to foster a deeper understanding of Romanian culture, traditions, and national identity. In this work, as in others, she demonstrated her talent for storytelling and her ability to capture the spirit of the Romanian people. Through her literary endeavors, Queen Marie has left an indelible mark on the cultural heritage of Romania and the world of literature.
