Step into the enchanting world of Japanese folklore with Japanese Fairy Tales, Kind and Frightening: Snow Covering Tracks. A Reading Guide. This collection brings together 18 traditional stories, divided into two distinct moods. The first section offers gentle, heartwarming tales, while the second delves into chilling legends of the supernatural.
You’ll meet farmers, merchants, monks, and samurai who encounter miracles, outwit danger, and face witches or shape-shifting beasts. Yet, animals, gods, and nature spirits often lend a hand—cruelty is punished, while courage and kindness are rewarded. Each story is presented in the original Japanese alongside a literary translation into Russian, making this an ideal tool for learners.
Designed for beginner to intermediate Japanese students (and anyone fascinated by Japanese culture), the book includes lexical and grammatical notes, plus exercises to reinforce vocabulary and reading comprehension. The commentary, exercises, and translations are prepared by Yulia V. Koltycheva. At 1415.00 RUR, this volume is a gateway to both language mastery and timeless storytelling.
