Nuvele

Five novellas by Caragiale, the great Romanian satirist, here in his darker and more fantastic vein. A young priest falls into a forbidden love, an innkeeper's brother turns bandit in wartime, a devil comes to live among men as a Greek merchant, a traveller lingers at an inn kept by a bewitching widow, and a Jewish innkeeper waits in terror for Easter night. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
