Discover the Enigmatic World of the Roma Through Their Ancient Tales
For those who seek a deeper understanding of one of the world’s most mysterious peoples, this collection offers an unparalleled window into Roma life, beliefs, and traditions. "Сказки цыган" (Gypsy Fairy Tales) by Nikolai Albertovich Kun presents a rare compilation of folklore that reflects the nomadic culture, customs, songs, and spells of the Roma.
First published in 1921 and 1922, these two volumes have been reissued a century later thanks to Kun’s scholarly dedication and literary talent. Born in Moscow in 1877, Kun was a renowned Russian historian, writer, and professor at Moscow State University. His most famous work, "What the Ancient Greeks and Romans Told About Their Gods and Heroes" (1914), later republished as "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece," became a classic, translated into numerous languages.
In this book, readers will explore the worldview, superstitions, and rich oral traditions of the Roma. It is an essential read for anyone fascinated by mythology, ethnography, or the cultural heritage of a people whose way of life has inspired countless legends. Price: 1120.00 RUR.
