Russian mythology. A person at a crossroads of worlds

The book is dedicated to the mythological stories about the search and visits of the otherworldly worlds, about a man who finds himself at the crossroads of the roads leading to them, about the search for secret lands. This book is devoted to the identification of the universals inherent in legends about the secret lands, the disclosure of the sources and semantics of the images and conflicts. These searches give the key to understanding mythological images, mastered not only in folklore, but also in literature and art. The author for the first time conducts a comparative analysis of a very large volume of scientific data in the field of ethnography, folklorism, history, linguistics, art history, literary criticism, traditional medicine, botany.
For folklorists, ethnographers, art historians, historians, religious scholars, psychologists, as well as for all fans of folk culture
