Описание: Russian Folktales: A Reader for Students of Russian, Second Edition, offers intermediate and advanced students an ideal opportunity to engage with eight authentic cultural texts of the Russian folkloric tradition. Each transmits a popular tale long beloved by Russians--from The Frog Princess, to Prince Ivan, to Vasilisa the Beautiful, and others--that moreover presents a wealth of linguistic content. The Second Edition builds upon strengths of the First by offering a greater range of pre-reading and post-reading exercises to suit a wider variety of learning styles. Notes and a Glossary offer further aids for comprehension and interpretation. Russian-language audio files of each tale may be found on the books title support page at www.hackettpublishing.com.
The first anthology to present the entire range of ancient Greek and Roman stories--from myths and fairy tales to jokes
Captured centaurs and satyrs, incompetent seers, people who suddenly change sex, a woman who remembers too much, a man who cannot laugh--these are just some of the colorful characters who feature in the unforgettable stories that ancient Greeks and Romans told in their daily lives. Together they created an incredibly rich body of popular oral stories that include, but range well beyond, mythology--from heroic legends, fairy tales, and fables to ghost stories, urban legends, and jokes. This unique anthology presents the largest collection of these tales ever assembled. Featuring nearly four hundred stories in authoritative and highly readable translations, this is the first book to offer a representative selection of the entire range of traditional classical storytelling. Complete with beautiful illustrations, this one-of-a-kind anthology will delight general readers as well as students of classics, fairy tales, and folklore.
In this eighth volume of the author's Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series, the reader will find more additions to the considerable collection of old-time Pennsylvania mountain folktales and legends the author has managed to save from oblivion during his almost fifty years of collecting them from the little-traveled byways and corners of the Keystone State. The tales included in this volume are just as absorbing and intriguing as those that have appeared in the previous volumes, and they bring the reader once again back to a time when the state's mountains were alive with wolves, mountain lions, Indians, ghosts, witches and other colorful characters of a forgotten age. Sit down, open the book, and journey back to that unique period. Pause and savor the sights and sounds that were typical of those times. Ponder upon the tales and decide for yourself whether they are true or not, for that is part of their attraction; the sense that some part of a story that seems nothing more than a "tall" tale may have some truth behind it, and in this book the author provides some clues to help you reach those conclusions.
Have you ever encountered a noblewoman who was so beautiful that every time she walked by a body of water, the divine being who lived there kidnapped her? Or a mole who wanted to marry his beloved daughter to the wind? You will get to meet both of them in this book.
Long ago, Korea was divided into the three kingdoms of Koguryo, Silla, and Paekche. Each kingdom had its own culture, myths, and legends. Many of these myths were first written down in a collection called Samguk yusa, or "Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms," which was compiled by a Buddhist monk named Iryeon in the late thirteenth century.
Changes in religious belief across the centuries came to have an important impact on Korean mythology. The earliest religion was a form of shamanism, and the belief in gods and spirits who inhabit animals and mountains come to the fore in several of these tales. Buddhism was introduced in the fourth century, and several Korean myths have Buddhist monks or priests as their protagonists. Confucianism, which gained traction in Korea starting at the end of the fourteenth century, contributed to the concept of filial piety that informs the plots of several of the stories in this volume.
Some of these myths involve high-status people such as kings and government officials, or else tell of the activities of divine beings such as heavenly maidens or dragons, while others are amusing tales about the doings of cats and dogs and other animals. Myths such as "The Legend of Tangun" explain how kingdoms were founded, while "Kot'aji and the God of the Western Sea" tell the tale of how the archer Kot'aji saved a dragon and his family from the predations of a malicious demon, while other dragon stories are about people needing to be rescued from their long, scaly hosts who, despite having snatched people away from their families, are largely benignant beings who treat their guests well.
Here are just a few of the other amazing things you will encounter in this collection of Korean myths and legends:
The story of how King Tongmyong hatched out of an egg
The legend of how the dragon Ch'oyong became a protector against smallpox
A Korean frog prince and a Korean Cinderella
A Buddhist monk who is befriended by a spirit
The good brother whom the King of the Swallows rewards for his kindness, and the bad brother who learns a hard lesson about selfishness
Why cats and dogs are enemies
And more!
