В причудливом преломлении преданий и легенд кельтов и сказаний о нартах осетин отражаются исторические события далеких времен. Любое предание, каждый кадæг основывается в той или иной мере на реальной жизни народа, изображает народный быт и знания, религиозные представления, социальные, моральные отношения, философские взгляды.

The article is devoted to various forms of Hamsun’s influence on Siberian writers of the 1910–1930s. On the pages of Siberian periodicals, the Norwegian writer was often mentioned in theatrical chronicle, in the lists of European book novelties, in poetic texts, but he influenced most clearly the general northern flavour of the Siberian prose. Fifteen stories and short novellas of famous Siberian writers (Georgy Grebenshchikov, Isaak Goldberg, Anton Sorokin, Georgy Vyatkin) and almost forgotten writers (Stepan Isakov, Arseny Zhilyakov, Maximilian Kravkov) form the “Siberian Hamsuniana”, the di

Abstract:
The paper is devoted to the main ideological-aesthetic, genre-style, historical and cultural features of Natalena Koroleva’s fiction. Historicism and Catholicism, noticeable in the writer’s prosaic works of different genres and styles, are considered the dominant elements of her artistic worldview and thinking. The analysis focuses on the writer’s three key interwar novels: "An Ancestor", "A Shadow’s Dream", "1313" and examines several aspects of their poetics. Koroleva’s historicism is noted for combining scientific (in particular, archeological) knowledge, religious and philosophical experie

Abstract:
Slavic myths increasingly survive in people’s consciousness as supernatural elements or as literary characters rather than as real beliefs in their existence. Adult readers in Poland and Slovakia, for example, encounter Slavic supernatural beings in the fantasy literature book series such as Wiedźmin by Andrzej Sapkowski and Černokňažník by Juraj Červenák; however, literature cannot be expected to portray superstitions and demons in the same way as belief legends. Placing Sapkowski’s and Červenák’s works within the context of ethnographically recorded beliefs illuminates various aspects of int

The article deals with mythological characters that represent ‘bad weather’ phenomena such as drought, hail, whirlwind, thunder, and lightning. Folk ‘lower’ mythology pays much attention to the manifestations of bad weather, which reflects the understanding of nature by man. Many ancient Chinese myths and legends originated in Shandong province, where numerous meteorological mythological motives were created. At that time, human life depended on weather, therefore a lot of folklore rich in meteorological mythological motives and imagery was created. The representations of bad weather in Shando

The year was 1919, and America’s hatred of the Hun still ran strong. Miss Howl was outraged at my performance. She took what she called her “little enemy” by the ha

Abstract I Shall start from two positions, both of which have a certain prima-facie plausibility, but which seem to be in conflict with one another. The first is the idea that every society has its myths. Maybe a particular society will not have myths of a particular kind, say cosmogonic myths or myths to do with technological inventions or myths involving monstrous beasts. Maybe also whatever distinctions we ourselves choose to draw between myths, legends, sacred tales, and folk tales, may, in certain cultures, be eroded or difficult to apply.

Folk legend and apocryphal apocalypses informed the way that time and historical events were experienced during the Russian revolutionary period and the subsequent incorporation of Moldova (formerly called “Bessarabia”) into Romania.

The idea of the recently dead being reanimated and regaining their capacity for speech and locomotion is not exactly farfetched to a medieval audience. The issue of the dead and dying in Old Norse mythology explores the Nordic basis for Óðinn's claim. Conversely, the notion is correlated to classical traditions of the Ferryman's Fee and other Christian saint legends.
