Constantin Negruzzi (Romanian pronunciation: [konstanˈtin neˈɡrutsi]; first name often Costache [kosˈtake]; 1808–24 August 1868) was a Romanian poet, novelist, translator, playwright, and politician. Born in Trifeștii Vechi, Moldavia, he studied at home with a Greek teacher. He admitted in a later article that he learnt Romanian by himself, from a book written by Petru Maior. During the 1821 Revolution, his family took refuge in Chișinău, Bessarabia, where he met Alexander Pushkin and became interested in literature. Read more on Wikipedia
