Description

At first glance, these fairy tales are perfectly straightforward: Kolobok slips into the forest, the bears return to their home, and the Fox and the Crane take turns inviting each other to visit. But what if familiar plots conceal far deeper meanings?

Why is Kolobok like a teenager who decided to live “like an adult” too early? What does the story of a man who bought wisdom warn about? And what does a plain bowl of porridge have to do with personal boundaries?

After each tale, you’ll get a psychological analysis: it will help you read familiar stories in a new way, notice unexpected emphases in them, and recognize yourself in the fairy-tale characters.

The collection includes: “Teremok,” “A Parable of the God-ward Pilgrim,” “The Man Who Bought Wisdom,” “Kolobok,” “The Turnip,” “Ryaba the Hen,” “Three Bears,” and “The Fox and the Crane.”
