Listas de sobresalientes
In this volume will be found not only many of the familiar ingredients of folklore, but many surprising Slavic twists as well. Greed and gullibility are justly punished; quick wits and ingenuity triumph over brutish strength every time; but these animals, the fox and the wild boar, the bear, the faithful dog, even a surprising cat who announces, I am Pan Kotsky I am the most frightful animal in the woods. I tear to pieces whomever I please -- are mirrors of human foibles and failings and reflect a humorous commentary on life in general. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This was an interesting selection of tales, more focused on animal stories, than on quest-type fairy-tales, which made me wonder about the original collections, and whether the same holds true of them. I wish someone would do a complete translation! The final selection, The Farmyard, appears to be a folk chant/song, and doesn't come across very well, but other than that, this was engaging enough of a collection. Not as comprehensive as Irina Zheleznova's Ukrainian Folk Tales, which contained all of these selections, if I recall correctly, it will still be of interest to readers researching Ukrainian folklore, as well as those who appreciate woodcut illustrations.
