Episode 20: The Story of Harap Alb
Crow and Fern's Guide to Weird Fiction, Folklore, Mythology, and Everything in Between - A podcast by Dr. Crow and Ms. Fern
Today's story masks dark subjects such as colonization and the horrors of serfdom with a fantastical story of flying horses, benevolent fairies, and epic adventuring fit to stand with any classic fairy tale. Join us as Fern demystifies the symbolism and powerful message of Ion Creanga's beloved tale of Harap Alb and his quest for freedom from a cruel and cunning master. Intro music: Beeckmans: Hymne for Theremin, Oboe, String Quartet and Piano (2018) - The Alba Septet (Listen to the whole thing on Youtube, you'll thank us later). Outro music: Magic Hour by Three Chain Links Social Media Accounts: Instagram: crowandfernsguide TikTok: crow_and_ferns_guide Twitter: @Crow_and_fern Email: [email protected]
