Morphology of a fairy tale. Propp V.Ya.

Vladimir Yakovlevich Propp-an outstanding domestic scientist-folklorist and philologist. His works had a significant impact on the development of literary criticism, cultural studies, philology, history, and modern structuralists consider it their predecessor. His works do not cease to be relevant in today's humanitarian research, and ideas have long been entrenched in broad mass culture.

“Morphology of a fairy tale” is devoted to the structural analysis of Russian folk tales. What stages every hero passes in his way? Who is such a magical assistant? Is it always worth saving the one who got into trouble? “Morphology of a fairy tale” can answer these and other questions. But its main goal was to show: any story does not do without the basic elements of the narrative, and the person, whoever he was, tells it the same at all times.
