Yuri Ivanovich Yudin: The Fool, Jester, Thief, and Devil – A Study of the Folk Trickster
Price: 1887.00 RUR
This book offers a scholarly exploration of the folk domestic tale, delving into its genesis, poetics, and relationship with reality. The author examines the folkloric and ethnographic connections of these narratives, as well as their influence on literature. A central argument is that the domestic tale naturally unites phenomena from traditional folk culture with the contemporary realities familiar to the storyteller. Through a diverse array of "non-magical," novelistic plots in folk prose, the researcher identifies a typological commonality: the universal trickster hero. To define this figure, the author proposes the term "fool-jester." This work is intended for philologists, folklorists, ethnologists, cultural researchers, and humanities students.
