Legends of Crimea

This book collects 36 legends of Crimea that will introduce the reader to the magical world of Crimean folklore, the culture, and traditions of the peninsula. Each gorge, each mountain peak is connected to tales that have been passed down from generation to generation and are carefully preserved by the locals.
Nikandr Marks (1861—1921) was a lieutenant general of the tsarist army, an archaeologist, and a folklorist. Crimea was the ancestral home of the writer. There, not far from Kara-Dag, in Otuz, was the house of his ancestors.
The edition is supplemented with an article by Maximilian Voloshin about the author.
