Turkish fairy tales are perhaps the most unique in the world: they organically combine classic plots that came from both the West and the East. Much in them will remind us of the magical stories from "A Thousand and One Nights": huge monsters-devas, powerful genies, insidious and powerful padishahs, cunning vagabonds, beautiful peris that can transform into anyone, the magical birds Simurg and Emerald... But there are also plots in Turkish fairy tales that are familiar to each of us from Russian and Slavic fairy tales and even the works of Russian classics. The anthology includes the first Russian translations of twenty-six Turkish fairy tales, published in the 19th century, as well as five works from the collection of the Hungarian scholar Ignaz Kunos. In addition, the reader will find two more fairy tales here: "Emine", published in one of the 19th century newspapers and not reprinted for more than a century, and "Ashik-Kerib", written by Mikhail Lermontov in 1837 and discovered after the poet's death among his papers.
To make the journey through the world of Turkish fairy tales truly unforgettable, the publication is decorated with illustrations by famous Western artists whose work is inextricably linked with the national fairy tale tradition of Turkey: Amedeo Preziosi, John Frederick Lewis, Louis Chantal, William James Muller, James Robertson Justice, the court artist of the Ottoman Empire Konstantin Kapidaghly and the outstanding landscape and portrait artist Simon Agopyan, as well as Turkish miniatures of the 12th-19th centuries.
