We are Slavs!
14.99 €
Maria Semyonova is a great master who has said her resounding word in Russian literature. She created her own "quasi-Slavic" world, earning the gratitude and sincere admiration of millions of readers. Her pen belong to "Swan Road", "Duel with the Serpent", "Where the forest does not grow", "Valkyrie", "Sword of the Dead" and many other novels. The most famous of them - "Volkodav" - for many has become a desk book, which is reread and taken with him on the road, like a piece of home. However, "the last of the Gray Dogs" would not have been born without his unnamed alter ego, Vyatich or Krivich, the hero of the popular encyclopedia "We are Slavs!". According to the writer, both of these books were created in parallel. Thus the great mythmaker Maria Semyonova dispelled the myth that our ancestors silently drifted into oblivion. The memory of them covered with the dust of centuries and archives, nevertheless the information would be enough for more than one volume. Strictly speaking, the encyclopedia can not be attributed to the results of scientific research, primarily because of the emotional, lively presentation - but maybe this is what the book will be remembered by the reader? Meanwhile, here is collected serious factual material, devoted mostly to paganism, in which the author sees the keys to understanding the spiritual and material world of the ancient Slavs. Mythology and pantheon, everyday life and customs, household utensils, weapons, crafts - this book can be read from any chapter and in any sequence with ever-increasing interest. The edition contains more than 300 illustrations based on ethnographic sources.
