Description
A story of Russian fairy tales. Who were those very storytellers who retold the plots we’ve known since childhood for the collectors?
“The universality of the fairy tale, its presence everywhere is as striking as its immortality. This happens because the fairy tale contains some eternal, ever-fresh values. These values will be revealed to us gradually. For now, I’ll limit myself to pointing out the poetic quality, the heartfelt warmth, the beauty and deep truth of the fairy tale, its cheerfulness, vitality, its sparkling wit, the combination of childish naivety with deep wisdom and a sober view of life,” writes the captivated author.
“Russian Fairy Tale,” an unfinished manuscript by the author, largely generalizes the theses presented in the two previous monographs, but also extends them. The work classifies plots and characters and provides a broad historical context: how did the study of fairy tales begin in Europe? What path did it take in Russia?
