Tales of England
19.99 €
This edition contains translations from Joseph Jacobs's famous collection of English folktales. The texts are printed without literary treatment, allowing the reader to get directly acquainted with the characteristic features of the English worldview, the main plots and the central characters of English folk tales. Despite the fairy-tale setting, the manner of narration is characterized by pragmatism, realism and a very ironic attitude to the world, society, its traditions and patterns. Subsequently, these features will be fully perceived by the classics of English literature from W. Shakespeare to the writers of the XXI century. The book is accompanied by an article by V. Vazhdaev devoted to the history of collecting and peculiarities of English folklore.
