Reseña del libro "Old Peter's Russian Tales (en Inglés)"
Famous British author Arthur Ransome's unique and wonderful collection of fairy tales from the steppes and forests of Russia, first published in 1916, remains the authoritative English-language introduction to this nearly-lost world of traditional folklore.After moving to St. Petersburg, Russia, in May 1913, Ransome learned Russian and discovered the world of Russian folk-tales-none of which were known in the West, mainly because of a failure to translate them outside of their homeland.Ransome-already well-known in his native England-started collecting these tales, from both written and oral sources-and Old Peter's Russian Tales was the result.Wonderfully illustrated by famous Russian artist Dmitri Mitrokhin, the twenty-one stories in this volume provide a fascinating glimpse of rural Russia of the previous centuries."In Russia hardly anybody is too old for fairy stories, and I have even heard soldiers on their way to the war talking of very wise and very beautiful princesses as they drank their tea by the side of the road. I think there must be more fairy stories told in Russia than anywhere else in the world."Russian fairyland is quite different. Under my windows the wavelets of the Volkhov (which has its part in one of the stories) are beating quietly in the dusk. A gold light burns on a timber raft floating down the river. Beyond the river in the blue midsummer twilight are the broad Russian plain and the distant forest."Somewhere in that forest of great trees-a forest so big that the forests of England are little woods beside it-is the hut where old Peter sits at night and tells these stories to his grandchildren."-from the author's introduction.This new edition has been completely reset and contains the original illustrations and text.ContentsThe Hut in the ForestThe Tale of the Silver Saucer and the Transparent AppleSadkoFrostThe Fool of the World and the Flying ShipBaba YagaThe Cat Who became Head-ForesterSpring in the ForestThe Little Daughter of the SnowPrince Ivan, the Witch Baby, and the Little Sister of the SunThe Stolen TurnipsLittle Master MiseryA Chapter of FishThe Golden FishWho Lived in the Skull?Alenoushka and Her BrotherThe Fire-BirdThe Hunter and His WifeThe Three Men of PowerSaltThe Christening in the Village
