A study of the phenomenon of fairy tales that changed world cultural studies.
Fairy tales surround and attract us from childhood: any miracles come true, heroes save the world, and good always triumphs over evil. But do we really know what is hidden behind our favorite magical stories?
Where is the Far Far Away Kingdom? Who is behind the images of Koschei and Baba Yaga? How does the hut on chicken legs move and why is dead water needed for reviving? The famous philologist and folklorist V. Ya. Propp lifts the veil of secrecy and suggests figuring out how fairy tales reflected the meanings and archetypes of distant times.
