Description
The book “The Power of Russian Profanity. Blasphemous Stories” is intended for a wide range of readers (age restriction 18+), who are interested in Russian linguistic traditions and Russian culture in general.
The book is a kind of anthology. A lot of material has been collected about the origins of profane words (including obscene ones). Here you’ll find versions that can be confirmed in one way or another, and those that belong to the category of “folk” myths. Many examples are provided—from folklore, from ancient Russian sources, and from classical literature. The book also presents fairly original reflections on certain language processes, which, according to the author’s firm conviction, cannot be separated from the history of great Russian culture. And all of this is written in an easy, simple style, aimed at a reader who knows how to understand and accept humor.
