The Tale of Igor's Campaign
"The Tale of Igor's Campaign" is a monument of ancient Russian literature, narrating the unsuccessful campaign of the Novgorod-Seversky prince Igor Svyatoslavich against the Polovtsians in 1185.
Infused with the idea of patriotism, the "Tale" is a unique work of the...
lyric-epic genre, where literary traditions combine with motifs and images of folk poetry and Slavic mythology. In terms of its artistic significance, the "Tale" stands out among other monuments of ancient Russian literature and is considered one of the most significant achievements of European medieval epic. Discovered within a manuscript collection by A. I. Musin-Pushkin and published in 1800, the "Tale", according to poet A. N. Maikov, "made an epoch in our literary world."
It attracted the attention of not only researchers but also poets, artists, and musicians. The "Tale" became the subject of numerous poetic translations and adaptations, the best of which are included in this edition.
