Summary/Abstract: The French romantic tale Mirza ou Lettre d’un voyageur, written in 1786, published in 1795, is one of Madame de Staël’s early literary works. This tale is the first in a series of three: Mirza or a Traveler’s Letter, Adelaide and Theodore, Pauline’s Sad Life, all written in the same period: 1786-1794. This translation, made for the first time in Romanian, follows closely Madame de Staël’s text as it was published in the edition of 1856. The footnotes accompanying the French text of the tale belong to the author; ours are accompanying this short presentation. This fragment represents the translation of the second half of the tale, the first one being published in the previous issue of the journal (Annals 2015).
