Inside page of the book
It was published in 1967 by Bucuresti Literature Publishing House in Romania and was translated by Radu Mooureanu from a French version.
At that time, few Romanians were well-versed in Vietnamese culture and not many Vietnamese literary works were translated into the Romanian language.
The book will supplement a collection of Tale of Kieu translations in different languages, such as Russian, French, English, German and Spanish, to serve domestic and foreign tourists to the Memorial in Tien Dien commune - the homeland of poet Nguyen Du./.
