Belarusian Myths. From Mara and the Domestic Viper to the Werewolf and the Zlydni
This book tells the story of Belarusian mythology as it is known to us through folk and... ethnographic records, starting from the second half of the 19th century up to contemporary folklore expeditions.
You will learn how Belarusians envisioned the surrounding world, what spirits they believed in, how they honored their ancestors, defended themselves against evil spirits, and the schemes of demonic characters. In numerous tales, you will hear the lively speech of the residents of Belarus and immerse yourself in a new and somewhat mysterious world of Slavic culture.
