Myths and Legends of the Celts. Collector's Edition
39.99 €
Discover the world of tales and legends of the ancient Celts, the mysterious tribes that inhabited the vast territories of modern Ireland, Great Britain and France, and medieval Europe. The influence of their mysterious, still little-studied culture on the entire Western world is comparable only to the influence of Antiquity.
The famous writer and translator of the XIX century Thomas Rolleston painstakingly collected and systematized the main legends and myths of the Irish and Welsh epics. The collection includes tales of the Uladian cycle, where perhaps the most famous hero of the Irish sagas - the mighty Cuchulin - acts, tales of the Ossian cycle, dedicated to the Irish hero Finn McCool and told by the legendary bard Ossian. A special place in the book is occupied by myths and legends of Wales from the medieval Welsh cycle "Mabinogion" - the heroes of this epic became the prototypes of the legendary King Arthur, the wizard Merlin, the Knights of the Round Table and other popular heroes. Luxurious design - leather binding, unique embossing with two kinds of colored foil, painted border with stylized ornaments - will not leave indifferent all lovers of polygraphic masterpieces. And thanks to the convenient format, thick paper and optimal font size, the book will not just decorate your bookshelf - you will want to read and reread it. This unique edition will become a real gem of home and family library and will serve more than one generation of readers. The book continues the collection of gift editions on mythology, which also includes "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece" by N. A. Kuhn, the legendary collection of Arabian fairy tales "One Thousand and One Nights" and "Tales of Ancient Japan" by Sazzanami Sanjin, a classic of Japanese children's literature.
