The Big Book of Myths of Russia

The gift edition "The Big Book of Myths of Russia" invites you to immerse yourself in the richest and multifaceted mythological worlds of the peoples inhabiting the vast expanses of Russia: from Siberia to Chukotka, from the Volga region to... the Far East. Here – in epics, legends, and half-forgotten songs – the traditions of Slavs and Karelians, Yakuts and Chuvash, Evenks and Mansi, Tatars and Saami, and many others are intertwined. You can hear how the raven-demiurge creates the universe, see what the magical mill of Sampo is grinding, and set off with mighty bogatyrs and brave shamans into unprecedented adventures. This book will take you to where the stars hold up the sky, the shaitan lies in wait for the unwary traveler, and the endless forests, quiet tundra, and turbulent rivers are inhabited by spirits and giants. The collection includes the books: “Slavic Myths,” “Myths of the Urals and the Volga Region,” “Myths of the Russian North, Siberia, and the Far East,” and “Myths of Karelia and Ingria.”
