What worlds does the universe consist of and what spirits inhabit them? Why do day and night change? What do we need to know about the laws of the taiga?
Far Eastern mythology is among the most archaic. It began to be studied in the XVIII century, when the tales of small peoples still existed as immutable truths. The first researchers slept in yarangs, ate frozen venison, recorded songs and shamanic incantations. To this day, from the tundra to the broad-leaved forests, you can still hear the sounds of tambourines and see ritual dances.
From the book "Myths of the Far East" you will learn how the Chukchi imagined the creation of the world, what legends about their ancestors were composed by the Nanai and what evil spirits believed in the Kereks.
