An exciting collection of mythology about heroes, heroines, villains, and monsters in the intriguing world of the nomad warriors of the Caucasus
The Nart sagas are to the Caucasus what Greek mythology is to Western civilization. Tales of the Narts expands the canon of this precious body of lore by presenting a wide selection of fascinating tales that are part of a living tradition among the peoples of Ossetia in southern Russia. A mythical tribe of nomad warriors, the Narts are courageous, bold, and good-hearted, but also capable of envy, cruelty, and violence. In this wonderfully vivid and accessible collection, colorful and exciting heroes, heroines, villains, and monsters pursue their destinies though a series of exploits, often with the intervention of ancient gods.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Princeton University PressISBN-13:9780691211527ISBN-10:691211523UPC:9780691211527Book Category:Literary Collections, Literary Criticism, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:Russian & Soviet, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology, Folklore & MythologySize:8.40 x 5.50 x 1.30 inchesWeight:1.35Product ID:SC5SNF7FFM
