Vladimir Yakovlevich PrPP (1895-1970) - an outstanding domestic philologist, folklorist, professor of Leningrad University, who gained world fame.
"Historical roots of a fairy tale" (1946) - the continuation of the book "Morphology of a fairy tale", the second part of the unsurpassed classical study dedicated to the analysis of the most popular folklore genre.
A fairy tale is not just an invented world in which miracles are possible and justice triumphs: evil is punished, and the hero is saved. This is a reflection of the distant past of humanity with its pagan rituals, rituals of initiation, the cult of ancestors and mystical trepidation before the afterlife. The fairy tale attracts us with its mystery, but what is hidden behind this magic?
In this book, the reader finds out who hid behind the images of Koshchei and Baba Yaga, why the burning of Ivan in the stove is traces of the initiation rite, and the salvation of the girl who sacrifice the monster is overcoming the primitive pagan thinking and the transition to humanistic ideals
