For most residents of European Russia, the North, Siberia, and the Far East are a kind of terra incognita. We know little about the lives of the indigenous peoples of this region and often form our perceptions of them based on deeply rooted but completely incorrect stereotypes in the mass consciousness. A book by the well-known Russian anthropologist and folklorist Olga Khristoforova will help you get acquainted with the mythology and culture of the northern peoples.
In the book:
- A comprehensive look at the mythology of 40 northern peoples of Russia: universal motifs and distinctive features
- Etiological myths, legends, folk tales, epic songs, legends, rituals, and spells of 40 indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East
- Shamanistic beliefs, rituals, ceremonies, and neo-shamans of the 21st century
