Book Synopsis Georgia Through Its Folktales by : Michael Berman
Download or read book Georgia Through Its Folktales written by Michael Berman. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full of third sons, talking birds, enchanted places, beautiful women and impossible journeys, these charmingly illustrated stories have a magic-realist, almost absurd quality, and they are told and translated with enough shamanstvo to keep you reading. In his introduction and extensive accompanying gloss, Michael Berman skilfully locates them in their historical, religious, storytelling and shamanic contexts with a scholarship that is both thorough and accessible, making it complementary to the reader's enjoyment. A nice collection. David Ronder
