The book brings together stories and legends about ancient Russian bogatyrs—their lives, friendship, feats, and campaigns—as well as battles against enemies and glorious victories. For the first time in one edition, it presents all the bogatyrs and their rank among others: the elder, the younger, travelers, and the Novgorod ones. This isn’t only about such well-known names as Ilya Muromets, Svyatогор, and Dobrynia Nikitich, but also about Sadko, Vasily Buslaev, Mikhailo Potok, Dunay Ivanovich, Stavr Godinovich, and others—both famous and less well-known heroes. Ancient bylina epics are retold in a simple, vivid style understandable even to the youngest readers. The book will be interesting to everyone who loves fairy tales and legends, history and literature.
